Specter’s campaign cash tops Sestak’s, Toomey’s

From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

Sen. Arlen Specter raised $1.15 million for his reelection during the last three months of 2009 and ended the year with nearly $8.7 million in the bank, his campaign announced yesterday.

The campaign for his challenger in Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary May 18, Rep. Joe Sestak, said Sestak would report raising about $650,000 in the fourth quarter and ending the year with $5.1 million on hand.

Sestak spokesman Gary Ritterstein said that Specter was spending money at a “dangerous rate” and that Sestak would be competitive.

Said Specter campaign manager Christopher Nicholas: “The senator is well-situated financially to win a contested primary and then beat the GOP nominee in the fall.”

"....I have never made it a consideration whether the subject was popular or unpopular, but whether it was right or wrong; for that which is right will become popular, and that which is wrong, though by mistake it may obtain the cry or fashion of the day, will soon lose the power of delusion, and sink into disesteem."
