Scott, Crist Campaigns Still Have Millions In Cash To Spend

October 14, 2014

The campaigns of Republican Gov. Rick Scott and Democratic challenger Charlie Crist each entered the final month of the gubernatorial race with millions of dollars available to spend, newly filed finance reports show.

As of October 3, the Scott campaign had raised $9,171,288, while spending $2,891,464, leaving it with nearly $6.3 million. The Crist campaign, meanwhile, had raised $8,587,405, while spending $4,610,536, leaving it with nearly $4 million, the reports filed Friday show.

Those totals also don’t include money raised by two political committees — Scott’s “Let’s Get to Work” and “Charlie Crist for Florida” — that play pivotal roles in the campaign. As of October 3, “Let’s Get to Work” had raised $41,597,277, while spending $39,770,527. The Crist-backing committee had raised $22,702,031, while spending $20,561,633, the reports show.

    Vote Libertarian. At least there is a slim chance they aren’t completely corrupt yet. These two are.

    I sick of all the commercials where one candidate or PAC only slings mud at the other candidate. Tell me why I should vote for you….not why I shouldnt vote for the other guy.

    Glad there is a “mute” button on the remote. Most commercials are muted within the first 2 seconds.
