Two GOP candidates vying to take on Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fort Lauderdale, are taking potshots at each other's war chests while the national Republican Party has them both "on the radar."

Ozzie DeFaria reported last week that he had collected "nearly $400,000 in total receipts, an amount greater than any challenger to Debbie Wasserman Schultz has ever reported."

DeFaria's campaign declared more than $181,000 in first-quarter receipts and more than $200,000 cash-on-hand. Among his top donors was business magnate Wayne Huizenga, who pitched in $5,000.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who spent $72 million of his own money winning in 2010, says whoever's thinking about taking him on in two years should know one thing: Money won't be a problem for his campaign, even if he's not planning to personally fund it again.

Asked Tuesday how much the 2014 race is likely to cost, Scott told reporters in his Capitol office: I dont know what it will cost, but well have the money to win.

The two leading Republicans aiming to challenge Democrat incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in November looked to advance their campaigns on Tuesday in very different ways.

Congressman Connie Mack, whose father held the Senate seat for 12 years before stepping down in 2000 when Nelson won it, released a radio ad on Tuesday that will run across the Sunshine State.

In the ad, Mack takes aim at President Barack Obama and Nelson on gas prices, slamming the two Democrats for opposing the Keystone XL Pipeline which would bring oil into America from Canada.

Mike Hayden knows a thing or two about terrorists. From 2006 to 2009, he ran the Central Intelligence Agency.
