ARIZONA: "In a rare moment of bipartisanship, the House approved $600 million yesterday to pay for more surveillance drones and about 1,500 more agents along the troubled Mexican border," the AP writes. And look who was speaking out -- Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, a freshman who is potentially vulnerable in her House bid. She said, "it’s time for the federal government 'to stop letting us down and start getting the job done' on tighter border security."

FLORIDA: "Democratic Senate candidates Kendrick Meek and Jeff Greene continued ripping each other on ethics issues [yesterday] in the first debate between the primary rivals that will air statewide," the Palm Beach Post writes.

In an interview with Politico, Greene responds to Mike Tyson's extensive description of his travels with the Democratic Senate candidate. "But whatever Tyson was doing, Greene said, he didn’t do it around him or on his boat," Politico writes. "'We have a zero tolerance policy (for drugs), I always have and always will, on the boat…I’m not a drug-doer, I don’t even drink. I don’t drink coffee. I like nice wines with dinner,' but that’s extent of it, he added."

INDIANA: "A House Democrat on Tuesday took a subtle swipe at President Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in his latest campaign ad," The Hill writes. "Two-term Rep. Joe Donnelly's (Ind.) TV spot features a photo of Obama, Pelosi and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) as he references the 'Washington crowd.'"

OHIO: "A day after his opponent released internal polling suggesting that the race for Ohio’s 18th district is a dead heat, Rep. Zack Space (D) is firing back," Roll Call reports. "The Space campaign announced that the Congressman has exceeded the $2 million fundraising mark for the cycle. Space showed more than $1.2 million in cash on hand at the end of June, far outpacing state Sen. Bob Gibbs (R), who reported just less than $210,000 in the bank." And: "Both House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and political strategist Dick Morris are set to visit the southeastern Ohio district on Gibbs’ behalf over the next week."
