Wulsin AGAIN outraises Schmidt

The latest campaign finance reports, which cover Oct. 1-18, just came out. And for the second time in a row... Democrat Victoria Wulsin raised more money than Rep. Jean Schmidt.

In a release (e-mailed to reporters at 10:44 p.m. last night!) the Wulsin campaign touted the fundraising gap as "evidence of Schmidt's weak support and Wulsin's momentum."

More from the release: "The fundraising advantage will allow Wulsin to increase her media buy for You Deserve Better, the television advertisement that has knocked Schmidt on her heels and sent her campaign into a minor frenzy."

But what Wulsin's release fails to mention, however, is that Wulsin outspent Schmidt nearly 3-1 during those two and a half weeks. That means Wulsin's final amount in the bank, as of Oct. 18, is about $86,000 less than Schmidt's bank account.

And now, here are the breakouts on the 2nd Congressional District race:

Rep. Jean Schmidt (R):
Money Raised 10/1-18: $131,834
Money Spent 10/1-18: $87,962
Money in the bank: $268,229

Victoria Wulsin (D):

Money Spent 10/1-18: $256,228
Money in the bank: $182,161
