O’Donnell Outpaces Coons in Fund-raising (2 to 1)
The Wall Street Journal/Washington Wire ^ | October 15, 2010 | Brody Mullins

Posted on 10/15/2010 5:38:23 PM PDT by Delacon

Christine O’Donnell, Delaware’s Republican Senate candidate, surprised her Democratic opponent, Chris Coons, by raising more than twice as much money in the three months ending Sept. 30, according to the campaigns.

O’Donnell also has twice as much money in the bank for the final stretch of the campaign.

O’Donnell’s campaign and Federal Election Commission records show that the Republican raised $3.9 million in July, August and September; Coons reported raising $1.5 million.

She also ended the quarter with a bigger bank balance — $2.6 million – compared with Coons’s $1.3 million, fund-raising reports show. O’Donnell was the upset winner of a Republican primary in August, beating Republican Rep. Michael Castle, who was considered a shoo-in for the Senate seat formerly held by Vice President Joe Biden.

Biden and President Barack Obama traveled to Wilmington, Del., today for a fund-raiser for Coons.

Lol, I wasn’t asking out of concern for the source in the terms you refer to. The reason I asked is because if all or mostly all of the contributions she’s receiving are coming from out of state, the fact that she’s outraising Coons 2 to 1 it says nothing good about in-state voter support, which of course is what she needs in order to win the election Nov. 2. OTOH, if the money is mostly coming from in-state, then the new poll jump may be just the tip of the iceberg.

Yep, thats the DNC strategy, narrative, and talking points.

In the final days, she needs to attach Obama around his neck like a millstone.

" sheesh. spell checker is our friend. "

please pardon me, I was under the impression that this forum is about the exchange of conservative idealism and not an english grammar symposium .

IMO a more appropriate response would be to the concept and not to the minutia of correct spelling

Kicking in a few more bucks right now, online, for her.

Boy, getting near to being tapped out this season, there were just too many good candidates to donate to, who were close to knocking off a Democrat. I hope at least 80% of them bring home the bacon on Election night in Nov. There will be so many interesting races to watch, I dont know if I will get any sleep.

I’ve contributed a lot also including local races. It’s time for change and when it happens I want to say I played a part.

This would be the sweetest win...and she’s on track, given her primary election.

I haven’t kept up today...why are Obama and Biden campaigning for the Bearded Marxist?

Does Obama need a win so deperately that he will campaign for a supposed “shoe in”?

Is it me or does this Coons character look like Sid Fields of the old Abbott and Costello show?

Christine could have beat that democrat/marxist already.

Her campaign team must be composed of total idiots.

They wasted money putting up dumb ads like the “I'm not witch ad”. An independent group actually made a great ad for Christine O’donnel, “Chris toons the taxman”. she should just run that ad.

Question, if she raises more than she need, what happens to the unspent portion after the elections are over?
