CA-26: Senator Tony Strickland Reports Raising $ 770 K in the First Quarter
California State Senator Tony Strickland at January’s Congressional announcement
A very good fundraising quarter for Tony Strickland.From the press release:
Senator Tony Strickland, a candidate for Congress in California’s open 26th Congressional District announced today that he raised $770,000 in the first campaign reporting period and will report $720,000 cash on hand.
“I’m very humbled by the tremendous support our campaign has received in just 11 weeks,” said Strickland. “Our fast start will allow us to deliver our message of job creation and uniting our community around economic policies that provide hope for families struggling to make ends meet.”
Although California’s 26th Congressional district is rated by the respected Cook Political Report and Larry Sabato’s “Crystal Ball” as a true “toss-up” race, Strickland begins the campaign with a large advantage having already represented every part of the Congressional District during his service in the State Assembly and State Senate.
Running in California’s new top-two primary system means that Strickland, as the only candidate with significant name identification, will be able to save a significant amount of resources for the general election in November.
“Strickland’s first quarter total is more than two and a half times what the top Democrat front-runner reported and is among the top first quarters for any candidate in an open seat in recent U.S. history,” said respected California fundraiser Jeff Miller.
It certainly appears that campaign cash is not going to be a problem in Tony Strickland’s campaign for Congress.
But, be assured, Democrat Assemblywoman Julia Brownley will add to her campaign kitty and there will be a campaign media – athon in the coming weeks.

President 2012: Rick Santorum Suspends Presidential Campaign
No surprise since there really was not a path to win the nomination.Rick Santorum is suspending his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination, clearing a path for Mitt Romney to become the nominee.
A Republican close to the campaign says the former Pennsylvania senator was to make the announcement Tuesday in his home state of Pennsylvania, two weeks before the GOP presidential primary there. Santorum faced a tough fight in his home state against Romney.
Now, the path is cleared for Mitt Romney to win the Republican nomination.
The general election campaign has started – Romney Vs. Obama.

Birth control, contraception and now race wars = just the issues the Republican Party wanted to run on, right?Hardly.
What happened to issues that really mean something to Americans, like the economy, unemployment, health care reform and the massive federal deficit?
