TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/NSF) - Heated debates, endless mudslinging and clichéd one-liners have prompted the Republican Governors Association to donate even more money to aid Gov. Rick Scott's campaign.

Scott's committee, known as "Let's Get to Work," received a $1.5 million donation from the association on Oct. 14th.

The infusion of cash brings the total provided by the association to at least $16 million, according to campaign-finance information submitted to the state Division of Elections.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, chairman of the GOP governors group, campaigned with Scott the Thursday following the donation.

Political committees are required to file updated finance reports with the Division of Elections by a Friday deadline.
