Miami megadonor Stephen Bittel can add a new job to his resume: State Democrats elected him chairman of the Florida Democratic Party on Saturday. 

Republican Party of Florida chairman Blaise Ingoglia can hold his title for a little longer -- on Saturday, Ingoglia sealed his fate as the party’s new chair, knocking out opponent Christian Ziegler in one of the nastiest chair races in party history. 

Ingoglia took 152 votes to Ziegler’s 76 votes.

Christian Ziegler wants to make life a little easier for Republican state committeemen and women if they select him to be the Republican Party of Florida’s next chair.  Gone, Ziegler says, are the days of scrambling to quickly draft up press releases, make event flyers and reach out to voters. A new development is on the horizon -- and it will focus all on collaboration among the party faithful.

"We won't rest until we make sure we've done everything in our power to make sure this never again happens here."
