Fundraising Totals Released

Well, we have been standing by waiting patiently for these numbers and finally they are in! Congressman Chris Murphy raised over 357,000 during the second quarter, and has 780,000 on hand. Do note though that Murphy did raise more money in the first quarter, about 420,000.

State Senator David Cappiello raised a little over 200,000 in his bid to oust Murphy. Note that he started fundraising a little bit after the quarter began.

All things said Murphy looks like he will definitely out raise Cappiello throughout the whole campaign, but Cappiello came up with somewhat impressive numbers which puts him in good position to receive money from the NRCC. This race is going to be a good one, even though the money looks a little lopsided.

Lets remember Danbury is not the whole 5th district. Capp will have a tough enough time competing with Murphy here and right now does not pose a threat in the three other important areas of Waterbury, Meriden, and New Britain.

bingo.

The 5th's border reaches Simsbury to Danbury and Danbury is a SMALL part of the puzzle.

What makes you think Capp can do any better than Johnson when all the money is flowing towards the Dems by a 2 to 1 margin?
