DescriptionTAMPA - For months, the three major Democratic U.S. Senate candidates disagreed on little and played nice in public.

That ended Thursday night.

U.S. Rep. Peter Deutsch aggressively challenged front-runner Betty Castor at every turn in the last statewide televised debate before Tuesday's primary.

Deutsch accused Castor of hiding her opposition to partial-birth abortion. He accused her of not being a strong enough supporter of Israel.

And he angrily accused Castor, former president of the University of South Florida, of falsely claiming that she suspended former professor Sami Al-Arian when he was under investigation for allegedly raising money for terrorists and not publicly condemning him.
