Aronberg takes lead in money race for Democratic attorney general primary
by Michael C. Bender | July 10th, 2009State Sen. Dave Aronberg, D-Greenacres, told supporters today that he collected $173,000 for his primary battle with fellow state Sen. Dan Gelber of Miami Beach. Gelber announced earlier this week that he collected $150,000.
The two Democrats are squaring off in the most closely watched Democratic statewide primary so far in the 2010 election cycle. Their second quarter campaign reports — which are due today — give a indicate that this race is still pretty close. In other words, neither candidate buried the other in money, so both have pretty legitimate claims for staying in the race.
And why that’s good news for the two attorneys, it’s a concern for party leaders, who don’t want to risk a bloody primary - especially when no Democratic candidate has stepped forward in the state CFO race…

This is odd. Dave Aronberg says he raised $173,000 but FL Division of elections reports only $142,611.00.
The same database shows that Dan Gelber reported $152,053.50.
If you don’t believe me, see for yourself:

So, either Aronberg is stashing unreported campaign income, or he’s just straight fibbing.
