The Florida Democratic Party and the Republican Party of Florida plan to
return campaign contributions associated with Scott Rothstein, the Broward
lawyer under scrutiny for financial improprieties. For FDP, it's easy: Just
return a $200k check. Not so for RPOF. Rothstein, his firm and wife
have contributed more than $600,000 over the years. RPOF has spent that money,
so it's returning what was given last quarter: $50,000 from Scott Rothstein,
$90,000 from his law firm and $8,244 in in-kind contributions.

The parties join Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff, Jeff Atwater and CFO Alex Sink who have
announced they'll return some cash.

Gov. Charlie Crist, who has received at least $100,000 from Rothstein and his
firm for his U.S. Senate campaign hasn't made any announcement on what he'll do.
