PA-Sen: Financial Reports
Posted by Bob BrighamThe Morning Call has fundraising totals for the 2006 Senate Race.
WASHINGTON -- | Sen. Rick Santorum raked in nearly $2 million in campaign contributions during the first three months of the year, giving himself a large financial head start over Democrat Bob Casey Jr.Santorum's haul, combined with money raised earlier, gave him $2.8 million in cash on hand as of March 30.
Casey, who entered the race in early March, raised $90,000 and had just $73,500 in the bank after expenses, according to his financial report."
Casey has overwhelming name ID and received a good deal of press when he announced. It is troubling to see such a poor outpouring of support, if Casey excited people even slightly he should have been able to have raised three times that from people not asked, but looking, to give. Santorum may have off the chart negatives, but it looks like Democrats are taking a wait-and-see approach when it comes Casey Jr.
