| The good folks at The Hotline compiled Q4 fundraising numbersfor Senators up for re-election in 2010, as well as some other key folks (mostly House members) considering 2010 Senate bids. They note that Christopher Dodd’s and John McCain’s figures include combined White House & Senate accounts. One asterisk by a person’s name denotes that the person did not make available their Q4 numbers in time and that the numbers shown for the person refer to their Q3 totals. Two asterisks by a person’s name indicates that they filed their Senate candidacy after 12/31/08.
A few observations:
1) Oklahoma’s Tom Coburn (only $19,210 raised, only $54,984 on hand) raised even less and has even less on hand than Jim Bunning! These numbers suggest that Coburn’s retirement considerations may turn into reality.
2) Florida’s Vern Buchanan, Illinois’ Peter Roskam, and Kentucky’s Dan Mongiardo certainly aren’t debt averse.
3) Evan Bayh and Chuck Schumer ought to cut the DSCC some phat checks, stat. Especially Bayh, now that he really doesn’t need a Presidential-sized bankroll. Don’t be Dick Shelby!
