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.

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

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