The Post’s Fred Dicker reported this morning about a last-minute cash infusion that enabled Manhattan Madam/Kristin Davis go up on the air with a variety of pro-pot, pro-gambling and pro-gay marriage TV ads to boost her gubernatorial candidate on her self-created Anti-Prohibition line.

Davis refused to tell Dicker where the money – somewhere between $40,000 (her figure) and $60,000 (the Democrats’ estimate) – came from, but a quick perusal of the 24-hour notice list was quite instructive.

Davis’ campaign manager, Roger Stone, who is also an unpaid advisor to Carl Paladino’s campaign, contributed $16,000 to Davis on Oct. 30.

Some outfit called Potomic gave her campaign $18,000 on the same day. A quick Google search turned up nothing on the Florida-based entity, but it just so happens to be located at 401 E. Las Olas Blvd in Fort Lauderdale.

That’s was also the address of the firm Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler, with which Stone has a long-standing connection. (One partner, Fort Lauderdale lawyer Scott Rothstein, pleaded guilty in January 2010 to stealing $1.2 billion and was was sentenced in June 2010 to 50 years in prison).

UPDATE: Another $11,000 contribution from Potomic to Davis’ campaign just popped up on the state Board of Elections Website. So that brings the total of Stone-related cash to $49,000.

On Oct. 29, Drake Ventures gave Davis $4,000. That’s the name of Stone’s PR firm, which is also based in Fort Lauderdale and located at – you guessed it – 401 E. Las Olas Blvd. Davis’ campaign manager, Andrew Miller, according to the Times, has a cellphone associated with Drake Ventures.

An interesting aside, Davis’ campaign committee is called “Friends of Kristin Davis,” which, as is noted on the 24-hour notice list, is FOKD for short. Get it?
