Bush budget director Portman has 9 times the campaign cash as the Dem in Senate race

[Yeahyeah]

Of course.It's because he manages money soooooo well,that's why he was Bush's budget director.




U.S. Senate candidate Rob Portman banks a bundle for campaign, while Lee Fisher lags:

Trouble ahead: The latest campaign finance reports show Democrat Lee Fisher is in big trouble in Ohio's nationally watched Senate race. As of June 30, the lieutenant governor had $1 million in the bank; Republican Rob Portman had almost $9 million. Polls still put the two in a virtual tie, but Portman -- in his first statewide run -- has the resources to raise his profile, while Fisher has to sweat every nickel.

Portman just spent the long holiday weekend campaigning in Northeast Ohio, a strategy that has worked well for other center-right Ohio Republicans: If he can hold down Democratic margins here and turn out fired-up Republicans in southwest Ohio -- where the former Cincinnati area congressman is very well known -- Portman could be in very good shape on Election Day. As for Fisher, the more time he has to spend raising money, the less time he has to campaign. And with Democrats forced to defend seats they once viewed as safe -- even blue-state veterans like California's Barbara Boxer and Wisconsin's Russ Feingold are struggling -- dialing for dollars is only going to get harder.
