MT-Sen: Tester breaks fundraising record

This is what people-powered politics looks like. From a campaign email:

Thanks to committed Democrats like you, we set a record -- raising over $2.1 million in 3 months, the strongest showing ever by any Montana candidate.

The support of people like you from all around the country -- and the dedicated work of thousands of volunteers here in Montana -- has given us momentum in the final three weeks of the campaign.

That's amazing. This was a guy which observers didn't think could raise $600K for the entire race. That was literally one of the arguments against him by establishment types backing his primary opponent. Now, he's shattering state fundraising records.

Conrad Burns still has more money, so Tester isn't out of the woods. But this is still one hell of a race from one hell of a candidate.
