West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin enjoys a 360-1 fundraising advantage currently over Republican opponent Russ Weeks.
Yeah, that's right. 360-1. (For the record -- Manchin has $1.8 million on hand compared to Weeks $5,000 plus according to campaign finance reports.)
Turns out Manchin doesn't just rain money for his own campaign. The Democratic Governors Association -- chaired by Governor Manchin -- just announced a mid-year fundraising record today. The DGA ended the second quarter with more than $11 million raised. That's more than double the total raised at this time last year.
The record for a full year for the DGA is $18 million, so that's surely in the wheelhouse for Democrats.
