Allen rakes in the cash, too
Rep. Tom Allen, D-Maine, will announce on Thursday that he raised $813,000 between October and December 31, 2007, and that he has more than $2.5 million in cash-on-hand, said his spokeswoman Carol Andrews.
Allen apparently targeted small donors and relied on the Internet. He raised money from 5,000 donors who gave an average of $25, Andrews said.
When the reports are filed on Thursday with the Federal Election Commission, it will be interesting to see the breakdown of who gave and how much.
Congressional Quarterly, a magazine for lawmakers, aides and Washington insiders, reported that Senator Susan Collins, R-Maine, accepted $10,000 from Wal-Mart's political action committee.
We'll know more tomorrow when all other candidates for federal office are required by federal law to file their campaign finance reports with the Federal Election Commission today – unless the FEC grants them an extension.
