With five Florida congressional seats in hot play, the White House says President Obama will be back in Florida on Oct. 11 to attend a fundraising event for House Democrats.
The fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will be held in Coral Gables, an administration official says, with details to follow.
The big races in Florida are led by the open seat battle between Democrat Joe Garcia and Republican David Rivera for Mario Diaz-Balart's former seat in South Florida — as well as GOP'ers seeing opportunity among Democratic-held seats: Boca Raton Democrat Rep. Ron Klein, facing a fiesty challenge from Republican Allen West; North Florida Democrat Allen Boyd facing a challenge from Steve Southerland; and Orlando area Democratic Reps. Suzanne Kosmas and Alan Grayson facing challenges from Sandy Adams and Dan Webster, respectively.
