Democratic Gov. candidate Alex Sink has announced she'll return more cash from
suspected Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein. The total now: $6,000. Sink initially
returned money directly from Rothstein, his wife, his firm AAMM Holdings. But
now the campaign has identified contributions from another Rothstein-tied corp.,
WAWW.

Said the Sink campaign: "These are very serious allegations. The campaign is
returning or donating to charity any contributions from Mr. Rothstein, his wife,
his law firm and his other corporate entities. If it becomes clear that others
were involved in this matter, it’s our intention to return those contributions
as well.”

Rothstein, a predominantly Republican fundraiser, decided to switch sides in
the governor's race, much to Sink's recent dismay and the joy of Republican Bill
McCollum's campaign, which has hammered her over receiving the cash. No mention from the McCollum camp that Republican Gov. Charlie Crist or that
Republican CFO candidate and Senate President Jeff Atwater or that Republican
Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff or that the Republican Party of Florida got more from
Rothstein. All, too, say they're returning cash, as is the Florida Democratic Party.
