Alison Lundergan Grimes Beats Mitch McConnell In First Quarter Fundraising

Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes outraised Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in the first quarter, raking in over $2.5 million for her campaign to unseat the five-term senator.

Grimes' campaign boasted in a press release on Tuesday that her fundraising success over McConnell comes during his "strongest fundraising quarter to date." McConnell raised $2.27 million during the same July through September period.

Grimes, Kentucky's secretary of state, hopes to defeat McConnell in what is shaping up to be a battering campaign. Democrats have made McConnell a top target in the 2014 midterm elections.

According to the release from Grimes' campaign, her first quarter fundraising represents donations from about 13,000 unique contributors -- more than double the number of unique contributors to McConnell's campaign.

1. They have a governor that is a Dem

And he is implementing Medicaid for his people. I hope she kicks his ass. I wish the 2014 election was this November.

2. She's amazing. You can bet this did not escape Mitch coming out today. He should be very afraid.
