From SunSentinel.com:

Republican Pam Bondi, dubbed the political newbie of the race, and Democrat Dan Gelber, a veteran statesman of Florida politics, will vie to become Florida’s next attorney general after triumphing in Tuesday’s party primaries.

Gelber, a state senator from Miami Beach, easily won the Democratic Party’s nomination. His record as a leader in the state legislature and as a former government prosecutor appeared to have served him well with voters and put him far ahead of his opponent, Dave Aronberg, of Greenacres, a former state assistant attorney general.

Bondi, 44, a former Hillsborough County prosecutor and frequent guest on Fox News, beat out what some had thought would be Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp’s superior name recognition, causing him to concede the race around 10 p.m. Holly Benson trailed both of them.

If Bondi wins in November, the Tampa resident would become the state’s first female attorney general. An endorsement last week from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, whose celebrity power guarantees headlines and online clicks, may have helped put her ahead.
