Jerry Moran — State of the Race
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
“In the race to replace Sam Brownback in the U.S. Senate, Rep. Jerry Moran widened the campaign funding gap between himself and fellow Kansas Republican Rep. Todd Tiahrt, according to documents filed Thursday with federal election officials.
Moran reported to the Federal Election Commission that he has more than $3.4 million in cash on hand, up from $3.1 million at the end of July. Tiahrt began and ended the reporting period with about $1.4 million available.
For the period through the end of September, Moran’s campaign said he raised more than $520,000, while spending a little more than $181,000. Tiahrt reported raising more than $341,000, and spending $353,500.”

INSIDE THE NUMBERS
Moran outraised Tiahrt for the third consecutive fundraising quarter. Also, Moran is raising substantial funds while keeping spending down, therefore being able to widen his cash-on-hand total. Meanwhile, this quarter Tiahrt actually spent more money than he raised.
Moran now holds a funds-on-hand advantage of over $2 Million. During the 3rd quarter, Moran’s cash-on-hand went up by over $340,000. Meanwhile, Tiahrt’s cash-on-hand went down by over $10,000.

Recently, SurveyUSA did a poll released on 10/5/09 showing Moran leading

have you heard the latest? Tiahrt “the Washington insider” may be reeling from his ethics crisis… still have not seen his Q4 reprts as of this morning and Moran had another stellar fundraising quarter. Also, Moran is up 7 points among republicans in the latest Survey USA poll. Tiahrt’s poor fundraising and ethics scandals hurt the GOP. He should get out of the race… but then he’d have to move back to Kansas.
