Grimes outraises McConnell again in Ky. Senate race

WASHINGTON — Kentucky Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes has outraised Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell by almost $1 million during the second quarter.

Grimes collected $4 million between April and June, besting the $3.1 million McConnell raised during the same period.

It's the third time that Grimes, Kentucky's secretary of state, has surpassed the Senate's top Republican in campaign fundraising in one of the nation's most closely watched Senate battles.

Her campaign said it has $6.2 million in the bank as the Election Day nears. Campaign officials said they are plowing money into a field and data-gathering operation. The campaign began running television ads in May.

McConnell had more cash on hand, with $9.8 million.

Probably not as big a gaffe as WaPo makes it out to be, but not helpful for her.

There's a thing called election secrecy. If you don't want people to tell how you voted, you should be able to do so. Besides, this election is about Grimes vs. McConnell and not about Obama.
