Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele (R) will report raising more than $1.8 million during the second quarter of the year, a clip likely to far outpace any of his rivals for the open U.S. Senate seat, according to an internal campaign memo.
Steele finished the quarter that ended June 30 with more than $3 million in the bank, according to a memo written by his campaign manager, Michael Levitt, that is circulating in advance of next week's deadline to file reports. Steele's $1.8 million haul exceeded the $1.3 million he raised last quarter.
The leading Democrats in the primary contest -- Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin and former congressman Kweisi Mfume -- said they were not ready yesterday to release their fundraising numbers, which are due next Saturday.

Oops, another potential defeat for the MSM and the liberal elites who run the plantation for blacks in America.
The mere fact that a quality candidate is raising money and running a legitimate campaign in Maryland is progress enough, in a certain sense, given the state's history. The Democrats are already on the defensive. A Steele victory and/or Ehrlich reelection would send them into panic.
What are the latest polls?
Fantastic news. However, it takes more than money to win an election.
Don't tell that to Corzine in NJ, he bought his governship for $60 million.:)
