JEFFERSON CITY (AP) -- Republican Roy Blunt posted a strong fundraising quarter to pull ahead of Democrat Robin Carnahan in cash available for Missouri's 2010 Senate race.

Financial summaries released Wednesday show Blunt raised more than $1.4 million from April through June as he consolidated support within an initially factional Republican Party.

Carnahan, the only Democrat in the race, reported receiving about $1 million during the second quarter of 2009, roughly matching her receipts from the first quarter.

After accounting for expenses and money previously raised, Blunt's campaign had almost $1.8 million on hand compared to Carnahan's nearly $1.4 million at the start of July. Carnahan had held the cash advantage on their April quarterly reports, which covered the first few weeks of the Senate campaign.

A historical swing state, Missouri's Senate race is expected to be one of the most closely contested nationally as Republicans try to take away the Democrats' 60-seat, filibuster-proof majority.

1. So? Republicans still have most of the money. nt

2. Didn't that reverse itself for the most part in 2008?

3. Except when a D. candidate somehow "outperforms" in that category,

they scream BLOODY MURDER! Like a crooked card-player does if/when the 'pigeon' wins. ("We rigged that deck, fair and square. The ONLY way he could have won was by CHEATING"!)
