FL-18: Annette Taddeo

Here's part of an email I just received from her campaign.

"We're off to a great start in our challenge to represent Florida's 18th Congressional District, and your support has been invaluable. We officially kicked off our race on February 26th, and in less than five weeks, I'm proud to announce that we've already raised more than $325,000."

That's quite impressive. All three of the South Florida challengers raised more than $325,000.

Great stuff!

And wow -- what a showing by Martinez.

It really is!

He's really popular in Hialeah. Several big name Republicans have actually said they're going to support Martinez, not Diaz-Balart. He can definitely take that seat.

Overall, the excitement is very high in South Florida right now. All three campaigns blew past expectations.

Wow

Those are really impressive takes by all three canidates.

I think we have real shots at winning the entire slate. Very exiting!

Cahir.

   That's a decent amount for Cahir.  He's still got a primary to win against Mayor Vilello and County Commissioner McCracken.  I support Vilello because he signed onto the responsible plan for Iraq.  Cahir seems to think that oil revenues and more elections will help.  I'm wondering how that's different form the stay the course strategy.  He never mentions withdrawal or redeployment: http://www.billcahir.com/conte...

Another Fundraising Total In Swing District

Somewhat recently announced challenger to whoever wins the democratic primary in Iowa's Third Congressional District, Kim Schmett (R), has announced their fundraising totals leading up to March 31th. The republican, Kim Schmett, has raised a whopping $70 and has $690 in debt according to the latest FEC campaign fundraising report. If Schmett's lackluster fundraising continues at this rate, IA-03 could be a virtual no-contest with whoever wins the democratic primary, Ed Fallon or Bush-Democrat Leonard Boswell. It will be interesting to see Schmett's fundraising in the coming quarters, and Fallon and Boswell's totals for Q1.

TX-07

is going to be quite a race. Skelly is on track to raise around 3 million and I don't think Culberson can match that.

Also. Congratulations Senator Mark Warner.

Total

Mark Warner has raised over 6.3 million dollars.  What is he going to do?  Other than give some mad coattails to Democrats in Virginia?

KY-03:

I hate to say it but Yarmuth really needs to rack up the fundraising if he is going to have any real defense against Northup.

by: jpsrosa @ Thu Apr 10, 2008 at 22:25:37 PM CDT

Yup...

I wouldn't be surprised if Northup outraised him handily this quarter.

that's not a swell quarter

although he should have something like $800,000 on hand now.

Anne Barth $330,000

Keep in mind too, she entered the WV-02 race after the quarter - her first - had already begun.

Damn, you beat me to it

But here's some blog reactions

Democracy for New Mexico

Heath Haussamen

New Mexico FBIHOP (my blog)

No word on CoH yet, but it should be near $3 million since he hasn't had to spend a significant amount of money; I'm thinking in the $2.8-$2.9 M range
