Congressman Roy blunt raised raised $1.44 million in the second quarter of this year.  His (presumed) Democrat opponent Jean Carnahan raised just over $1 million.

Blunt now also leads the important cash on hand race $1.7 million to $1.3 million.

All of this of course assumes that Congressman Blunt doesn’t have a primary.  Should there be a competitive primary, the cash on hand lead could turn into a defecit in a heartbeat.
