House Appropriations Chairwoman Denise Grimsley's campaign for a Senate seat this year has received relatively little attention.
Except in one way: Grimsley, R-Sebring, collected $914,348 in contributions, making her the top fundraiser in Tuesday's legislative elections.
Candidates faced a Friday deadline for filing finance reports that offer the final snapshot of how much money has been flying into campaigns.
Are you black, or a woman? If so, you can't cast a vote for your U.S. senator. But that's OK. No one else can, either.
Such was the state of affairs from 1787 to 1913. Few Americans today know that for the first 126 years of the nations existence, United States senators were not popularly elected. Rather, they were appointed or elected by every states legislature. The U.S. Senate was intended to be a quasi-aristocratic check on the much more directly democratic U.S. House of Representatives, whose members were popularly elected.
"I don't know," a very wise and skeptical Washington political analyst confided to me on Sunday as I limned the Romney victory I foresee. "I'd like to believe it," she said, "but I have to overlook a lot. If you're right, then a whole lotta state polls have to be wrong."
On Sunday, when the Tampa Bay Times staff named the Democratic legislative candidates their "Loser of the Week," they so nailed it.
Wrote the Times, "We can't help suspect that the GOP plan to oust three Florida Supreme Court justices was actually a head fake to ensure trial lawyers spend millions defending the justices instead of helping elect Democratic legislators."

Today is E-Day: Election Day. The day Florida and the nation have striven toward with sweat and hope and fury for what seems like the past four years.
After more than 12 months of intense swing-state focus, Florida has seen a record number of candidate visits and political ads.
Hopefully, well know how Floridians voted this year on the presidential contest, a U.S. Senate race, the state constitutional amendments, Supreme Court retention, and congressional, legislative and local contests without having to go deep into E-Day plus one or more.
While gas is rationed in New Jersey following Hurricane Sandy, the devastation left across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast isnt pushing up gas prices across Florida and the Southeast.
The big reasons being that the area impacted isnt a major oil production hub, while Europe continues to struggle with its debt crisis which has decreased global demand, according to AAA.
