Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Karen Thurman is in a rare position in agreeing with Republican gubernatorial candidate Attorney General Bill McCollum -- in beating up on Rick Scotts legal challenge to state campaign-finance laws.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Greene, who sent out a mailing this week detailing his jobs plan, released a new commercial over Floridas airwaves to reinforce his economic message.

A new poll released on Thursday morning by Rasmussen Reports revealed that Greene was doing better than Meek in the general election -- though still far behind likely Republican candidate Marco Rubio and independent Gov.
