| Dennis Rehberg saw fit recently to attack Bill Kennedy's recent fundraising figures, saying the Yellowstone County Commissioner is not raising money quickly enough to be a threat (the fact that he is attacking so often is raising doubts in my mind, to say the least).
So it is probably time to compare the fundraising strength of the various committees. Dennis Rehberg is indeed raising money faster than Kennedy. Rehberg has raised a little over $400,000 this year. Kennedy has raised nearly $180,000. Kennedy's performance is neither stellar nor lackluster. We'll see what numbers goes up in Q4 before making a judgment.
On the Senate side, the numbers are starker. Max Baucus has raised $7.4 million. Mike Lange has raised $3,000, I think.
In the Governor's race, Schweitzer has raised nearly $800,000. He has no GOP competition.
The Democratic Party's Federal Account has $150,000 in cash on hand. The Republican's has a little over $37,000.
I'm not sure where the state accounts are at. But you look at all the money being raised and the Democrats over-all are beyond competitive.
Anyone have the numbers for the state parties or the legislative committees? |
