We had all been expecting Junior to sign a deal with Northampton, but it hasn't worked out.
We're very pleased with our fundraising so far in this campaign. We have eight times the cash on hand as our opponent, and even though he spent $2 million in his primary, we're tied in the latest Mason-Dixon poll,
