Wow.

Charlie Crist announced that he raised a whopping, Florida record-busting $4.3-million for his U.S. Senate campaign. Not clear yet how much of that can be spent in primary and how much is restricted to the general election. Finance Director Dane Eagle says details such as cash on hand and won't come out until the July 15 filing deadline.

Crist's U.S. Senate opponent, former House Speaker Marco Rubio, said he raised just $340k in the same period.

“I am humbled by the support that I am receiving from the people of Florida and around the country,” said Gov. Crist. “I take their support seriously and continue to work every day to honor the trust and confidence they have placed in me.”

The campaign says Crist averaged $86,000 per day over 50 days.

"Clearly Governor Crist’s record of cutting taxes, fighting for Florida’s students and fighting for the safety, rights and freedoms of all Floridians is resonating with people across the state and around the nation," said Campaign Co-Chairman and former Sen.Connie Mack.
