James Talarico raised TWENTY-SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS in campaign donations so far! [View all]

An unheard-of amount. Even more impressive? Almost all of it came from small donors. He does not accept Pac money.

And although the only thing Jake Sherman on MSNOW could say was it was an "obscene" amount (he repeated that at least three times in a disgusted voice), it's clear that Dem enthusiasm is off the charts for this race.

And Jake, here's a pro tip for you: it would be obscene if Talarico was raising that amount from secret/special interests. He's not. What's "obscene" about average Americans contributing small amounts in huge numbers? Besides, of course, that your R sources don't like it.
