The FEC has released new numbers summarizing the financial status of the Al Franken for US
Senate campaign through March 31, and here's how they break down:
Franken's first-quarter 2008 take was about $2.2 million, bringing the campaign's total receipts so far to $9,356,168. During the same period, the campaign spent $1.8 million. Franken's cash on hand thus rose about $400,000, to $3,491,479.
New first-quarter figures for Sen. Norm Coleman's campaign were not available this morning. At the end of 2007, Coleman had raised $6.2 million, and had nearly that much -- $6 million and change -- cash on hand.
The new Franken FEC summary is available through the FEC's election map, here.
