In this only woman-to-woman U.S. Senate race, I think the money WILL come, and from around the country. Even Grover Norquist is helping with fundraising:

Grover Norquist — the conservative activist who has gained great power through his anti-tax pledge circulated to office holders and candidates — has written a fundraising plea for Manhattan attorney Wendy Long in her Senate primary battle.”
U.S. Senate Candidate Wendy Long Stands With Cardinal Dolan and All People of Conscience Opposing Infringement on Religious Freedom
For IMMEDIATE Release: May 22, 2012
Calls on Gillibrand to support rights for all New Yorkers
New York, New York – U.S. Senate candidate Wendy Long stands with Cardinal Dolan, Harvard Law Professor Mary Ann Glendon, the University of Notre Dame, and all people of conscience to oppose the Obama administration’s attack on religious liberty, calling on Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand to support the rights of all New Yorkers, not just some.
While Sen. Gillibrand is relentless in her efforts to extend benefits to certain select groups, she has turned her back on the fundamental freedom of faith and conscience that is protected by the United States Constitution. In the process, Gillibrand is turning her back on New Yorkers who don’t share her and President Obama’s cynical political agenda.
Just recently, Sen. Gillibrand described her support for same-sex marriage in moral terms, saying: “So I just think it’s a matter of right versus wrong, it’s a matter of core values of humanity and fairness and freedom and the ability of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” At the same time, Gillibrand is willing to compromise the rights and the moral values of Catholics, Jews, Muslims and people of faith from all walks of life.
Wendy Long said, “The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is what protects all Americans, from all walks of life, to be able to practice their faith, and to keep the government from meddling in their lives and consciences. The willingness of Senator Gillibrand and President Obama to trample that principle for the sake of their own political agenda is dangerous and wrong.”
She added, “I stand with Cardinal Dolan and all people of faith in opposing the Gillibrand-Obama effort to reduce our freedom of religion to just another activity that can be regulated by the federal government.”
