Sen. Chris Dodd, who faces a tough reelection battle, raised $1.2 million in the second quarter, outpacing both his Republican rivals.
Last week, we learned Republicans Tom Foley and Rob Simmons raised $530,000 and $750,000, respectively. While Dodd may appear well ahead of Foley and Simmons, Dodd will need to do better. Both Republicans have only recently entered the race and should be able to raise far more over the next year and a half, especially if Dodd continues looking vulnerable.
