| Description | "This is big.
Republican challenger Tom Smith won the 3rd quarter fundraising battle with Sen. Bob Casey, $1.643 million to $1.517 million. That comes on top of $10 million that Smith loaned his campaign in the same period.
Smith’s campaign says it had $7 million cash on hand as of the Sept. 30 deadline compared to the Casey campaign’s $5.21 million.
Both campaigns have spent heavily since the end of September, with Casey largely holding his TV advertising until then. Since Oct. 1, both candidates have likely already spent at least half of the cash on hand they reported today. Unfortunately for Casey, while he must fundraise via traditional means, Smith can reload his coffers simply by writing a check.
“This latest news spells more trouble for Senator Casey who continues to lose support to Tom Smith,” said Smith Campaign Manager Jim Conroy. ”That an incumbent career politician who has taken in millions from special interest PACs was outraised, is even further evidence that Casey’s message is falling on deaf ears, record is severely lacking and support is crumbling.” |
