MN-Sen: Al Franken really is cooking; he's caught up with Norm Coleman in polling, and is now outraising the Very Senior Senator:
Entertainer Al Franken (D) is on the fundraising rebound, raising more than Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.), according to spending reports released just days before Republicans descended on the state for their convention.
Franken raised $1.4 million from July 1 to Aug. 20 in the reporting period before the Sept. 9 primary. Meanwhile, Coleman raised $1.27 million in the same period. Coleman, however, still has a cash-on-hand advantage, with $5.6 million compared with Franken’s $2.4 million in the bank. The spending reports were released late last week.
