PA-SEN: While We Wait, Santorum Rakes . . .

It's still seventeen months to the general election, but Rick Santorum isn't waiting . . .

President Bush helped to bring in $1.5 million today for the reelection bid of U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum and the state Republican Party, raising twice the amount the campaign had expected, a Santorum spokesman said.

Bush spoke to several hundred people at a private luncheon fundraiser held at the Bryn Mawr house of Mitchell L. Morgan, the head of a local real estate firm.

For $10,000 (split between Santorum and the PA Republican Party), you got a picture with the President.  For $500/$1000, you got lunch.

People, this is not the time for intra-Democratic sparring, whether it's Dean/Biden or otherwise.  Rick Santorum will have $10M in the bank by the time the Democrats have a nominee in Pennsylvania next May, and we've got to be ready.

So whether you're pro-Casey or Pennacchio (or even pro-Sandals), for heaven's sake, give SOMEONE money today.

Because if we don't have the money to battle back from the opening bell, WE LOSE.
