Democrats bring in the big guns this week.
President Barack Obamas recent comments in support of building a mosque near the site of where the World Trade Center stood in New York has received opposition from within his own party, namely in the form of Jeff Greene who is running in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.
"President Obama has this all wrong and I strongly oppose his support for building a mosque near Ground Zero especially since Islamic terrorists have bragged and celebrated destroying the Twin Towers and killing nearly 3,000 Americans, said Greene.

Democrats bring in the big guns this week.
Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Greene said Friday he will sue the St. Petersburg Times if the paper does not retract an article about his real estate transactions.
Last week the St. Petersburg Times printed a story connecting Jeff Greene to a man now being investigated for mortgage fraud. Greene had sold him a building complex previously.
Greene called the story libelous, saying that he's not responsible for the actions of the person who purchased the building from him.

Jeff Greene, running against U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate election, took a shot at Gov. Charlie Crist, who is running in the race without any party affiliation. Greene commented on a Mason-Dixon poll showing declining approval of the way Crist has handled his job as governor.

House Seat 116: With Rep. Marcelo Llorente, R-Miami, facing term limits, four Republicans are running for the seat he is leaving in Miami-Dade.
House Seat 111: Representing parts of Miami-Dade, Rep. Erik Fresen, R-Miami, appears in solid shape to win another term. Still, Fresen has been burning through his campaign cash -- spending almost $64,000 of the more than $82,000 that he raised.
House Seat 106: Voters in parts of Miami-Dade will be represented in Tallahassee by Rep. Richard Steinberg, D-Miami Beach, for two more years. He is the only candidate in the election.
House Seat 101: Rep. Matt Hudson, R-Naples, has one of the most unusual districts in the state, touching both coasts and covering parts of Broward and Collier counties. With no Democrat running to oppose him, Hudson has done well in stockpiling his war chest, spending less than $4,500 of the little more than $116,000 he had raised by the end of July. It does not look like he will need to tap into it too much in the 2010 campaign. Larry Wilcoxson is challenging Hudson as a candidate without party affiliation but he has already spent all of the more than $1,100 he raised by the end of July.
