Still a long shot, but great fundraising prowess so far!

3. Sometimes that's true...it depends on the state.

For example, here in CT...for all the times he was elected and reelected, less than half of Joe Lieberman's campaign funds ever came from local donors.

Without making any imputations upon it--a lot of it came from NY and a lot of it came from prominent Jewish donors nationally. He was a cash cow though...if you wanted to pump money into a race in CT, all you had to do was have Joe campaign with the Democratic candidate and the same money would roll into their coffers.

I expect the same would be true of a lot of liberal heroes...I'd sooner donate money to Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren in their Senate races than my Senator, Chris Murphy. I like Chris...but he's a moderate representing a liberal state. Our other Senator, Richard Blumenthal, is one of my favorite people on Earth...I already give Richard the maximum every election. I wish we had 10 more Dick Blumenthal's in the US Senate.
