Fundraising

Today's WSJ has an article about Democratic success in out-fundraising Republicans in Senatorial campaigns. Even in some red states, Democrats have been competitive against Republican incumbents.

However, success in the House races hasn't been so uniform. One notable exception is the Pennsylvania's 10th District.

From the article:
"The picture in the House was much more mixed. Some Republican challengers raised more than the Democratic incumbents they are trying to unseat. Peter Olson, a former Capitol Hill staffer, bested Texas Rep. Nick Lampson. Businessman Chris Hackett narrowly raised more than Pennsylvania Rep. Chris Carney -- not including a $250,000 loan to his campaign. Both challengers, however, have far less cash on hand."
