Fundraising Roundup: Grayson's Mouth Pays Off

By Reid Wilson

A quick look at the latest fundraising reports we've received, beginning with 2 potentially vulnerable Dem incumbents:

Rep. Earl Pomeroy (D-ND) raised $360K through the last 3 months, ending the period with $1.4M in the bank. GOPers are newly excited about their chances against Pomeroy given Sen. Byron Dorgan's (D) surprise retirement, but Pomeroy is signaling he won't be taken by surprise.

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) has a big mouth, and he has a big bank account to go with it. Grayson will report raising about $850K in the 4th quarter, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Over the last 3 months, Grayson has made a number of controversial statements, including taking on ex-VP Dick Cheney, accusing GOPers of wanting sick people to "die quickly" and other remarks that make the NRCC feign outrage.

But controversy brings in big bucks. Just ask Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) about that.

On the candidate front, take a look at these 2 impressive SEN contenders: Ex-state Sen. Cal Cunningham (D) pulled in $320K during just the first month of the race, while NH SEN candidate/businessman Bill Binnie (R) raised $255K in 2 months and added another $1.26M of his own. Binnie will report $1.16M in the bank at the end of the quarter.

Ex-US Atty Pat Meehan (R), who just made the NRCC's Contenders list, raised $580K to go on top of the $211K he had already pulled in. Meehan is running for Rep. Joe Sestak's (D-PA) seat as Sestak runs for Senate.

And businessman Randy Altschuler (R) raised $185K in the final quarter, giving him $776K in the bank, according to a GOP source. He's a favorite of the NRCC, but he won't have the primary to himself: Atty George Demos (R) raised $300K in the last quarter without self-funding, which Altschuler has done. Demos still has $275K in the bank.

Altschuler and Demos are facing off for the right to run against Rep. Tim Bishop (D-NY) in his Long Island district.
