McCaskill Raises $680,000 In A Single Month

According to a campaign press release, in one month, Claire McCaskill has raised over $680,000 for her U.S. Senate bid against Jim Talent.

"This strong level of support for my campaign tells me that Missourians are looking for a change," said McCaskill.  "They are tired of Senators who spend their time looking out for Washington insiders rather than working on behalf of the people here at home.  They have seen enough carping and cronyism, and not enough common sense.
 
"I am very pleased that so many people are hearing my call for change and supporting my campaign.  But this is just the beginning, and there is much more work to do.  We will be outspent by Jim Talent and the Washington insiders who want to keep him in office, but with the continued support of people who want to bring some sanity to Washington, we will have the resources we need to run a victorious campaign."

Just this week, the Republican Senate Campaign Committee was touting Mike McGavick of Washington State as one of their top recruits.  McGavick, like McCaskill, is taking on an incumbent Senator.  In a full quarter of fundraising, McGavick, CEO of Safeco Insurance, only raised $710,000.
