With state CFO Alex Sink, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, releasing an audit Tuesday of the almost $50 million First District Court of Appeal building in Tallahassee, former Rep. Loranne Ausley, the Democratic CFO nominee, used the opportunity to attack Republican opponent Jeff Atwater of North Palm Beach.

With three weeks to go until the election, and a poll released Monday showing the gubernatorial contestants neck and neck, both Democratic candidate Alex Sink and Republican rival Rick Scott went on the warpath, unleashing new attacks on each other.

Florida Republican lawmakers and major contributors who fiercely opposed Rick Scott during the party’s August primary for governor wasted little time sliding over to support the nominee.

The attacks are flying in the heated -- and close -- contest to be the 45th governor of Florida as Democrats and Republicans pummel each other.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, feeling frisky in Florida's dynamic political landscape, campaigned with Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott and U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio Friday.
