Todays WaPo The fix
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/morning-fix/1-2-former-colorado-lt.html#more

I m only dropping in a couple of paragraphs.

From Fla
"
Billionaire Jeff Greene considering candidacy in Florida Senate

1. Billionaire real estate developer and financier Jeff Greene is mulling whether to enter the Democratic Senate primary in Florida, according to a senior Democratic source, the latest twist in a race that has resembled nothing so much as a soap opera in recent weeks.

Greene, who became a billionaire over the past few years by pioneering credit default swaps, had been considering whether or not to run as an independent for Senate but with Gov. Charlie Crist (R) seemingly moving toward an independent run of his own Greene is apparently now weighing the idea of challenging Rep. Kendrick Meek for the Democratic nod."

Snip


"If it happens, a Greene candidacy would provide further drama -- and unpredictability -- in a race that is already shaping up to be one of the best (and certainly most entertaining) of the 2010 cycle."

From NC
"Cunningham will face off against Secretary of State Elaine Marshall and attorney Ken Lewis among others in next month's primary. Polling suggests that Marshall is the favorite in that race thanks to name identification built up over her 14 years in her current post.

Neither Marshall nor Lewis have starred in the race for campaign cash either, however. Marshall brought in just $163,000 from Jan. 1 to March 31 while Lewis raised just $109,000. Burr, by contrast, raked in $1.57 million in the year's first fundraising quarter.

"When you are in a three-way Democratic primary with a female statewide office holder and an African American it makes it difficult to raise money no matter how good you are," said one Cunningham adviser."

From Pamshouseblend via face book.
her comment
" Pam Spaulding So blacks and women are keeping the white man Cal down!? That is mindblowingly craptastic "advising."
The Fix - Cal Cunningham adviser sees blacks and women as a money problem?!
voices.washingtonpost.com
No wonder the Cunningham adviser didn't want his/her name put on this unbelievable quote: "When you are in a three-way Democratic primary with a female statewide office holder and an African American it makes it difficult to raise money no matter how good you are," said one Cunningham adviser."

1. How hard would it be to beat Greene?

The guy made money off of credit default swaps.

The guy made money while destroying the economy.

"He mad money off the backs of hard working Americans, is this who you want representing you? He knows nothing about you"
