• The St. Petersburg Times has an interesting look at Marco Rubio’s ascent: “a story of unremitting ambition, natural talent and powerful connections that began 14 years ago in a Miami coffee shop.”
  • Kendrick Meek has launched a new website to attack Rubio, which includes incredible pinnacles of public discourse such as the following image:
  • President Obama will be visiting South Florida this evening to raise money for the DCCC and 22nd-district incumbent Ron Klein at an event held in the home of former Miami Heat star Alonzo Mourning.
  • Kendrick Meek has a new ad featuring Obama and will be bringing Bill Clinton to town for further stumping next week.
  • The Times also details Charlie Crist’s motley campaign crew, headed by his sister: “Put together that big sister, a longtime Tampa Bay GOP organizer, a veteran Democratic strategist and college buddy, and a New York City political hotshot with no Florida experience, and it sounds like a recipe for dysfunction.”
  • Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott has put another $2.4 million of personal wealth into the campaign. Meanwhile, Democratic Alex Sink has dropped an epic two-minute ad which might be the most brutal spot of the gubernatorial race, simply because the documentary-style footage and narration lends it an air of objectivity that most attack ads lack.
