I guess having Bush raise money for you isn't enough anymore.
Well, Norm Coleman posted his Q3 numbers today and all he came up with is $1.7M. Franken announced his numbers and guess what they raised?$1.89M! [...]
No one thought this was going to happen this quarter. No one.
Coleman raised $1.7 million according to a release his camp just sent out. That is nearly 200k less than Franken. But here is the really stunning piece:
Coleman had a Bush fundraiser this quarter that netted 1 million for his campaign and the state party.
So, if you take out the one day Bush fundraiser, Franken outraised Coleman by 1.2 million over the last three months!
This is simply stunning. I spoke to many DFLers in the past few days who worried that Coleman would raise north of 3 million. He raised half that.
