Florida Senate Race Leads Nation in Fundraising

Subject: txt 2010 NPAC >>>
The Republican primary race for a Senate seat from Florida is one of the most watched in the nation, and the fundraising numbers released Tuesday morning are matching those lofty expectations.

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist pulled in $2 million for the last three months of 2009 and has $7.5 million in cash on hand, with no outstanding debts.

Meanwhile Crist's opponent, conservative Marco Rubio, continues to keep pace with Crist, raking in $1.75 million in the same period with $2 million cash on hand.

Senior Rubio campaign adviser Todd Harris added,

"Charlie Crist's fundraising advantage is quickly disappearing..."

The latest polling shows the Florida Senate race tightening. Rubio has gone from a 31 point underdog in June to neck and neck with Crist...


The Florida race is pulling in big bucks as grass roots Republicans across the country are pouring money into the state.

"We're on pace in meeting our goals, and I am as confident as ever that we will have the resources to deliver our message and be successful,"

Rubio said.
