Governor Matt Blunt has raised nearly $3 million dollars since October and has about $4.5 million in the bank to spend.
Blunt's campaign filed its end-of-quarter financial report today.
“This strong financial position shows not only that Missouri voters are pleased with Governor Blunt’s leadership, but also that he is well-prepared to continue leading Missouri in the right direction,” said John Hancock, spokesman for Blunt’s political committee.
Guess that means he's running?
The release notes that the campaign has invested about $4 million of its cash on hand in high interest CDs. "The amount raised in the last six months surpasses that of any governor in the history of the state. The greatest amount Bob Holden raised in a reporting period during his term was less than half the amount raised by Governor Blunt, at $1,183,205.00 in the first quarter of 2003, which he ended with $1,533,921.81 cash on hand," notes the Hancock release.

Mr. Catanese, among the contributions Matt Blunt received was $50,000 from Neosho banker Rudy Farber...just 15 days before Blunt appointed Farber to the Highway Commission. I posted the information a while ago at http://rturner229.blogspot.com/2007/04/highway-commission-appointee.html
Matt Blunt received $100,000 contributions from eight indivuals, including $200,000 total from Houston, TX homebuilder and Swiftboat ad backer Bob Perry and his wife Doylene. Another $100,000 came from a Georgia contributor William Ulm of Bogart, GA. Does this mean we are in for an extra-nasty campaign financed by out-of-state dirty tricksters?
