I've been spending parts of the last couple of days updating all the candidate pages on Campaign 2006, and all the district pages to reflect the deadline for the quarterly financial reports from the FEC.
I tend to follow the FEC's lead, and not include candidate loans in the "amount raised" category.
Anyway, if you're interested in the money race, see the individual race pages. Don't have the numbers, that is to say: the FEC numbers, for Klobuchar and Kennedy.
Sixth District is certainly interesting.
Candidate
Funds
Michele Bachmann
$396,347
Phil Krinkie
$373,467
Elwyn Tinklenberg
$368,093
Jim Knoblach
$354,995
Patty Wetterling
$244,986
Jay Esmay
$55,794
Tinklenberg was stronger than I would've thought, although he didn't have a great quarter. Wetterling's numbers are misleading because she still has a pot of cash from her aborted Senate run to use.
