*By Marc Caputo *([email-masked]; @MarcACaputo) with *Ali Breland* (
[email-masked]; @AliBreland) and the staff of POLITICO Florida

*Good Wednesday morning.* My, these are strange political times. The head
of the DNC is getting hit from the left. And it might be working.

*CASHMAN CANOVA --"Canova, Wasserman Schultz's challenger, set to announce
$1M haul," by POLITICO Florida's Marc Caputo *: Tim Canova, the upstart
liberal who's challenging DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz for her
congressional seat, is about to become a million-dollar candidate.

Fueled heavily by small-dollar donors who give to Democratic presidential
candidate Bernie Sanders, Canova said that, by the weekend, he'll be on
pace to have raised $1 million since he officially entered the race Jan. 7.
... The Canova campaign said it received 17,756 individual contributions in
April alone, that the overall average contribution was just $18.76 and that
of the 23,404 total donors as of the end of April, only nine "have maxed
out." The campaign says it soon will have 50,000 contributions from 25,000
individual donors. http://politi.co/1URikZZ

POLITICO Florida's Marc Caputo: * Eight in 10 Florida voters approve of a
proposed state constitutional amendment to legalize medical marijuana and

medical marijuana amendment is backed by a super majority of voters
regardless of party, gender, age, education and race and ethnicity. Only 16
percent oppose the amendment, while 80 percent support it overall.

race," by POLITICO Florida's Marc Caputo:* The race for Florida's open U.S.

slightly trails some of them. http://politi.co/1OgkyR9
