Good start, and a good burn through in a non-election quarter.
Given expectations, mainly Illinois money with Barak providing about $10,000 with both primary and general election money. About $12,000 is general election money over the primary limits, but that still gives her a huge quarter.
Brutal
High hopes for John Sullivan in IL-3, but the quarter turns in only $10,783.10
Without the cash, he won’t be able to overcome the name recognition. I was hoping this would be the surprise of the primary, and still hope to do the interview, but this is very, very, bad.
Rich talked about the problem of partisan bloggers at times, and this may well be a case where this partisan blogger just hoped too much.
More later
Either tonight or tomorrow if I get too loaded watching the Leader of the Free World.

He’s playing for the short game. The key will be can he continue to raise through the rest of the primary. He’s in a position to have enough for most of what he needs as long as he’s willing to spend that loan.
