GOP challenger to Barney Frank raises $400K
Updated: Friday, 01 Oct 2010, 8:38 PM EDT

BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Sean Bielat, the Republican challenger to Democratic Rep. Barney Frank, says he raised $400,000 last month to help him compete with the 15-term congressman.

Bielat's campaign released his fundraising totals for the most recent reporting period Friday, but would not reveal how much of the money came from supporters outside of Massachusetts.

The campaign also said it had $400,000 in cash on hand.

A spokesman for Frank's campaign said they did not have the fundraising figures for the Newton Democrat since the last reporting period at the end of August. As of that time, Frank had over $1 million in cash on hand.

If I'm not mistaken, Scott Brown won Bawney's district.

I'm skeptical. Newton, MA, is probably the second most liberal district in the country, behind San Francisco.

$400K is not an impressive number. If he had $4 million, he might have a shot. But an incumbent with more than twice as much cash available? Hard to spin that as the incumbent being at risk.

Sean Bielat decided to run only this past January when Scott Brown won.

He got $25 from me today.

This guy can win.

FOX has destroyed so many lives in such a short period.

I too am skeptical — but from what I am reading and what I am hearing, lots of people (both liberal and conservative)
are fed up with Washington, D.C. characters.
We may see “change” of monumental proportions — that being real change, not the “change” Obama brought to the table.
