RPOF beats Dems in fundraising

The Republican Party of Florida raised $1.5-million more than the Florida Democratic Party in the latest quarter, but the GOP spent all but $74,000 of its money. That's what it looks like on the surface. But an RPOF spokeswoman said the expenses reflect a nearly $1.8-million transfer from a state to federal account. Here are the numbers for the quarter covering April 1 to Aug. 21.

RPOF FDP

Raised: 7,115,093.98 Raised: 5,602,927.29
Spent: 7,041,064.16 Spent: 3,497,621.92

2. Precisely

Obama needs to inspire the minorities and poor in Florida to get out and vote. I know firsthand alot of young ppl here are pumped up and are going to vote for him. We also need to encourage the less priveleged and unheard neighbors of ours in Florida to go out and vote for change.
