Bigger than Yours...

Moments after Republican congressional candidate Pat Meehan issued a news release bragging he had raised $200,000 in a little over two weeks that have passed since his announcement, Democrat state Rep. Bryan Lentz, a likely candidate for the seat, said he had raised more than $250,000 - without even announcing yet.

Looks like it's going to be a hard fought race.

    Read the fine print of Lentz's release. He's going to report $200,000 in his FEC report -- same amount as Meehan. And he filed his candidacy at the beginning of august. Be sure to read the fine print in his press releases.
