“FUNDRAISING:
As has been reported Christine O’Donnell is has raised twice as much money ($3.8 million) as Coons in the last month. Again, as with Facebook, her massive 2-1 fundraising advantage is indicative of interest and intensity, which translates into voters on election day.”
No.

“raising more than twice as much money in the three months ending Sept. 30”
During most of that quarter she was in a primary, he was waiting to be sacrificed to Castle. Hard to draw any more than that out of the numbers.
(Not to call the WSJ mistaken- but Coons’ Sept numbers are not on the FEC site.)
Interestingly Coons is drawing quite a bit of establishment Dem independent expenditures (which are reported) since then- a million from the DSCC and Actblue. “During the last two weeks alone, the DSCC has spent $351,781 producing and running TV ads opposing O’Donnell. “http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2010/10/your-daily-dose-of-news-31.html

Ask yourself why. And why has Biden made three trips there? Because it is slipping away. That’s why. They couldn’t stop Mass from going GOP and they sure won’t stop Delaware.
