Republican Peter Boulware will easily raise more than half a million in the race to grab a strongly Democratic seat. He's reporting $485,641 through Oct. 30, but that doesn't include money raised through the Republican Party or a third party group (All Children Matter-Florida), which did a mailer attacking his Democratic opponent Michelle Vasilinda. Vasilinda reported $162,000 through Oct. 10.

Republican Sen. Jeff Atwater was, by far, the biggest fundraiser among Senate races. With $2.4 million in direct contributions, he's not even in the same stratosphere as Democratic challenger Linda Bird who raised $42,784 through Oct. 10. Atwater's political committee Preserve the American Dream raised another $893,000 through the end of October.

House Majority Leader Adam Hasner raised an overwhelming $995,003 through Oct. 30, even though his seat isn't considered competitive. His opponent Democrat Rob Ostrov has raised less than $50,000.

If only money won elections, Republican Thad Altman, a state representative, would be annihilating Democrat Kendall Moore. Altman raised $535,372 in direct contributions through Oct. 30. Moore, who hadn't updated his fundraising by 6 p.m., was still at $87,306 through Oct. 10. But Buzz hears that this race to replace Bill Posey in District 24 is, by far, the most competitive in the Senate, and far too close to call.

In District 23, another competitive Senate seat, Republican Nancy Detert has raised $374,455 and Democrat Morgan Bentley has raised $144,212.

In District 91, Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff, who is favored to keep her seat, has raised $424,759, and her challenger Chris Chiari has raised $62,000.
