Republicans and Democrats in Washington are treating Kosmas as a very serious candidate.
Her campaign committee ended the first quarter of 2008 with more cash on hand than the incumbent. She was only $31,000 ahead, but challengers generally trail in the money chase, so her lead turned some heads. Feeney’s campaign hasn’t yet disclosed its second-quarter performance, but the Kosmas campaign said it was filing a report showing net cash on hand of $925,000 as of June 30.
Kosmas is getting preferential treatment from her party, which named the 24th District of Florida as one of the races deserving of extra fund-raising attention through the Democrats’ “red to blue” program. The party is backing her up with ads attacking Feeney for specific votes and also for taking the Abramoff trip in 2003. State-level Democrats set up a special page on their Web site reminding the faithful that an Abramoff-related court filing referred to Feeney as “Representative No. 3” and asking fellow Democrats to “contribute against corruption.”
