Thanks to Drew for putting this together from the FEC disclosure database. I also could not find any numbers for Mark Warner, not sure what's up with that. Other than that, I'm impressed with (although not happy about) Eric Cantor's fundraising prowess. Democrats Glenn Nye, Gerry Connolly, Tom Perriello and Rick Boucher all did great, and are looking good right now, in terms of money, for 2010. Jim Webb has plenty of time before he has to start worrying about reelection, but his numbers do seem a wee bit low. Yesterday's Washington Post had an interesting take on the sharp decline in Jim Moran's fundraising "after the shuttering of a lobbying firm that in previous election cycles helped steer millions of dollars in donations to their political committees from its lobbyists and earmark-seeking clients." Also, Rob Wittman's, Randy Forbes' and Bobby Scott's fundraising seems low, but they're all in safe districts so it probably doesn't matter. Last but not least, what on earth is the deal with Frank Wolf?!? As I asked Thursday, is he retiring?
