With less than two weeks until the primary, attorney Scott Fortune, waging a feisty underdog challenge to U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown in the Democratic primary, has launched his first television commercial in the race. Fortunes commercial features an endorsement from Jacksonville City Councilwoman Glorious Johnson who is running for mayor as a Democrat despite having been a Republican at one time.

Sen. Joe Negron, R-Palm Beach, and nine Republican state representatives sent a letter to GOP gubernatorial hopeful Rick Scott late Tuesday, regarding recent legal issues involving Solantic -- a company in which Scott is an investor.

Former House Speaker Marco Rubio, the overwhelming favorite to win the Republican nomination in the U.S. Senate race, was on Fox News on Tuesday, talking with Neil Cavuto about why his campaign is making a big deal of Gov. Charlie Crist backing the Obama stimulus package.

Sen. Dan Gelber of Miami Beach sent out an e-mail to supporters on Tuesday accusing Sen. Dave Aronberg of Greenacres, his rival for the Democratic nomination for attorney general, of swiftboating his campaign -- linking Aronberg to Republicans as well as bringing back memories of the attacks on Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry back in 2004.

With two weeks to go till the primary, Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp is getting some extra help in Miami-Dade for his bid for the Republican nomination for attorney general. On Tuesday, County Commissioner Joe Martinez and Rep. Eddy Gonzalez, R-Hialeah Gardens, endorsed Kottkamp over Republican rivals Pam Bondi and Holly Benson. Kottkamp has won the backing of many of the county's Republican leaders, including both the Diaz-Balart brothers in Congress.

Billionaire Jeff Greene and U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek, the two leading candidates in the contentious battle for the Democratic nomination in the U.S. Senate race, are debating this afternoon in Orlando and both campaigns are sending e-mails back and forth.

The debate is being held in the studios of WKMG in Orlando and will be broadcast on that station at 9 p.m. It will also be shown at the stations website at that time.

The Council of Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW), a group which has fought against pork and needless spending for more than two decades, released their 2009 ratings on Tuesday, giving high marks to a number of Florida Republicans in Congress.

FreedomWorks PAC, a national conservative political action committee headed up by former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey, backed former Rep. Dennis Ross on Tuesday for the congressional seat being vacated by U.S. Rep. Adam Putnam.

Ive always said, if you make a deal with the devil, you are the junior partner, said Armey. There are too many junior partners in Washington right now. Dennis Ross is a leader that I trust will think independently and act in accordance with his principles always -- not just when it is politically convenient.

Former Rep. Loranne Ausley, the Democratic candidate for the state CFO position, took aim at the leadership of the Legislature on Tuesday -- namely her Republican opponent, Senate President Jeff Atwater of North Palm Beach.

Trailing behind Atwater in the money chase, Ausley stood in front of the First District Court of Appeals building in the southeastern part of Tallahassee and criticized the way the Legislature crafted the state budget.

Ignoring the challenge from Republican primary rival John Lindsey for the moment, the campaign team of former Rep. Dennis Ross, running to replace U.S. Rep. Adam Putnam in Congress, turned its fire to the two candidates fighting for the Democratic nod in the race: Polk County Supervisor of Elections Lori Edwards and Navy veteran Doug Tudor who ran against Putnam in 2008.
