Florida Senate candidate Kendrick Meek has some magic on his campaign's side in the form of Earvin Magic Johnson. The former Lakers great will be on ABC's telecast of the NBA Finals tonight, but today he's also featured in a fundraising solicitation from Meek.

"I know what it's like to lead a team to a thrilling victory. And I know what it's like to work hard to help your family get ahead," Magic writes in a message featured on Meek's campaign Web site. "That's why no matter how often Kendrick Meek says he's one of my biggest fans, I will always say I'm a bigger fan of his."

The campaign is raffling away three basketballs autographed by Johnson, and anyone who donates at least $5 by June 13 is entered to win.

"On the court, it always takes a complete team working together to win. The campaign trail is no different," writes Magic. "Everyone has a role to play. Please get in the game today."

Meek is being challenged in the Aug. 24 Democratic primary by billionaire Jeff Greene. The winner will take part in one of the most high profile general election races in the country, along with Republican Marco Rubio and independent Charlie Crist.
