Franken Out-Raises Coleman — But Coleman's Overall Cash Lead Grows
Al Franken enjoyed a decent fundraising quarter, taking in $1.89 million and out-raising GOP Senator Norm Coleman's $1.7 million.
On the other hand, Franken had a higher burn rate with his money, and Coleman's cash-on-hand advantage actually increased. Coleman's cash lead at the end of the second quarter was $4 million to Franken's $2 million — but now it's $5 million to Franken's $2.45 million.
The other major Democrat in the race, Mike Ciresi, has not announced his fundraising numbers yet.

When you factor Colemans 1 mil from the bush fundraiser out Franken really killed him.

When Franken wins, O'Reilly is going to lose whatever marbles he has left.

Al is engaged in a primary campaign that Norm doesn't need to worry about. This is easy to forget, because Al and Mike have both conducted themselves with an extraordinary amount of civility and are focusing their attacks on Coleman. Still, many primary candidates are much closer to 0 before the general starts. Al's doing very very well.
