State Dems/Maddox finances (cont.)
Maddox blames bookkeeper for errors. Meanwhile, he has also paid $2,632 in late property taxes. And there was also the party's $10,500 fine last year for late filing of its financial report. This story doesn't look like it's going away.

Nelson tops Harris in Florida senate race, Quinnipiac University Poll finds; voters disapprove of her role in 2000 vote count
Wednesday, June 29, 2005
U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris, still carrying baggage from her controversial role in the 2000 Presidential vote count, trails Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson 50 - 38 percent in an early look at the 2006 Florida Senate race, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
Republicans back Harris 72 – 15 percent, while Democrats back Nelson 80 – 11 percent and independent voters go with the Democrat 61 – 27 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. Gender is not an issue, as women back the Democrat 52 – 37 percent, and men go with Nelson 48 – 39 percent.
Sen. Nelson has a 46 – 23 percent approval rating, and 38 percent of Florida voters want to see him reelected next year, with 37 percent who want a new Senator.
But voters disapprove 43 – 33 percent of the role Harris played in the 2000 Presidential vote count and 37 percent say they are less likely to vote for her because of it.
"Sen. Nelson looks vulnerable in his re-election bid, except when you match him against U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris or other possible Republican challengers. He gets a lukewarm approval rating and even 36 percent of Democrats would rather see someone else elected to the Senate. Those wavering Democrats come scurrying home, however, when Harris is Nelson's opponent. Independent voters also favor his re-election," said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
Nelson also tops State Senate President Tom Lee 53 – 30 percent and beats State House Speaker Allan Bense 55 – 26 percent.
When asked who they would like to see run for U.S. Senate in 2006, 54 percent of Florida Republican voters pick Harris, followed by 10 percent for Lee and 6 percent for Bense.
"Because she is better known, Rep. Katherine Harris may be the strongest Republican candidate right now to face Sen. Bill Nelson next year, but she comes to the race with strong baggage that could hurt her in the general election," Richards said.
"This poll shows Florida voters have long memories and even before the campaign has started, 37 percent say they are less likely to vote for her because she halted the recount in the 2000 Presidential election when she was Florida's Secretary of State."
Governor's Race
Looking at the 2006 Florida Governor's race, 24 percent of Democrats would like to see U.S. Rep. Jim Davis as their candidate, followed by 16 percent for state Democratic Party Chair Scott Maddox and 7 percent for State Sen. Rod Smith.
Among Republican voters, Attorney General Charlie Crist leads with 43 percent, followed by State Chief Financial Officer Tom Gallagher with 31 percent.
From June 22 - 26, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,248 Florida registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points. The survey includes 423 Democrats with a margin of error of +/- 4.8 percentage points, and 477 Republicans with a margin of error of +/- 4.5 percentage points.
The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and the nation as a public service and for research.
