Doubled Up

BLUNT RAISES $542,034
Democrat Robin Carnahan raised twice as much money as Roy Blunt during the first three months of Missouri's 2010 U.S. Senate campaign.

The Blunt campaign announced raising $542,034 during the six weeks since their candidate launched his campaign in February. Spokesman Rich Chrismer said Blunt would report $673,612 cash on hand.

"We are pleased to have raised $542,034 in only six weeks, or half the calendar quarter, while launching a full statewide campaign of travel and one-on-one communication. In sharp contrast, Carnahan's office is on auto-pilot and Carnahan herself is essentially invisible to the voters and inaccessible to the news media," Chrismer said in a statement.

THE TOTALS:
RAISED:
CARNAHAN: $1,048,023
BLUNT: $542,034

ON-HAND TO SPEND:
CARNAHAN: $927,785
BLUNT: $673,612
My Take: The best thing about Roy Blunt's fundraising quarter is that, while doubling him up, Carnahan didn't completely blow it out of the water.
