Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) pulled in an impressive haul this past quarter, but he’s still at least a few million behind his primary opponent, Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA).
Specter had $6.7 million on hand at the end of the first quarter, after raising about $1.2 million–just about the same amount Sestak raised this quarter. But remember, that money was collected when Specter was a Republican. Since then he’s become a Democrat, and has won the backing of almost the entire Democratic establishment. With that in mind, we eagerly await Specter’s forthcoming financial disclosure.
