Damn, you beat me to it!
Her fundraising - even among unitemized/grassroots contributions - is simply unparalleled for a first-timer.
Colbert-Busch also raked in the money. What matters is how she uses it. Perdue won because he had a far superior ground game to Kingston, Nunn needs to put that money to use recreating the. Obama ground game. I've already read that the local Dems are attempting to use the Obama voter database.
Yes, and that was the work of Kristin Oblander, who also handled Barnes' impressive $22m 2002 fundraising campaign. She's also assisting Nunn with her fundraising; she's one of the best. Oblander handles the "big" events though, so this particular success wasn't by her.
