Organizing for America, a group with close ties to President Barack Obama, sent an e-mail on Tuesday urging Florida Democrats to vote for U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek over Jeff Greene in the Democratic primary on Tuesday for the U.S. Senate election.

With a federal judge intervening against President Barack Obama increasing federal funds backing stem-cell research, Republican gubernatorial primary candidate Rick Scotts campaign team praised the decision -- and took aim at the man standing in their way of the GOP nomination.

The campaign team of Rick Scott, who is facing Attorney General Bill McCollum for the Republican gubernatorial nomination on Tuesday, feels good about the heavy turnout for early voting -- and says it bodes well for their candidate.

Jeremy Bird, the deputy director of Organizing for America, which is closely connected to President Barack Obama, sent out an e-mail to supporters on Monday, urging voters to back Democratic candidates in the Sunshine State.

While Rep. David Rivera, R-Miami, is the front-runner for the Republican nomination to replace U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart in Congress, he has been at the center of a number of controversies lately --from chargesabout hitting a truck full of his opponents mailings in 2002 to a domestic violence incident, both of which Rivera hotly disputes. One of his opponents for the Republican nomination, attorney Marili Cancio, is hitting Rivera in a television commercial released on Sunday.It may be too late in the campaign to boost Cancio but Rivera has gotten a load of bad press lately.

With a blog piece from political activist Nick Egoroff -- who resigned from the TEA Party earlier in the summer -- claiming that a source from Rick Scotts camp told him that former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee demanded $250,000 to endorse their candidate, the Huckabee camp is firing back.

With two polls released on Monday morning, each one showing a different candidate ahead in the Republican gubernatorial primary, Rick Scott just released a web video in a last-minute effort to encourage his supporters to get out to vote on Tuesday.

Its a clear choice, says Scott in the video before attacking Attorney General Bill McCollum for backing the raising of taxes 42 times.

Heartened by two polls released on Monday morning that showed him ahead of Jeff Greene by double digits in the race for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate, U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek appeared on MSNBCs The Daily Rundown with Chuck Todd.

Meek, who was in Tampa, seemed confident about victory on Tuesday -- though he continued to avoid saying whether he would back Greene if he won the Democratic nomination.

In stark contrast to the Public Policy Polling poll released Monday, a poll released by Quinnipiac University finds different results. While the PPP poll had Rick Scott ahead of Attorney General Bill McCollum in the Republican gubernatorial primary contest, Quinnipiac had McCollum slightly ahead -- 39 percent to 35 percent.

Public Policy Polling released a poll Monday looking at Tuesdays primary races.

A poll of 304 Republicans taken on Aug. 21 and 22 with a margin of error of +/- 5.6 percent had Rick Scott ahead of Bill McCollum in the battle for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. The poll had Scott with 47 percent and McCollum at 40 percent.
