Incumbent Republican Senator Norm Coleman raised $2.35 million for the quarter and has $7 million cash on hand. These are solid numbers.
Democratic challenger Al Franken raised nearly as much with $2.26 million and sits on $4 million. Not quite as good as Coleman, but money should not be much of an issue in this race. The DSCC (Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee) will make sure Franken is not overwhelmed by Coleman's current money advantage.
If the race primarily focuses on Franken, he's in trouble unless Obama has a huge showing in MN. If the race is about Coleman or typical Democratic-Republican points, Coleman is in serious trouble as Obama is projected to do very well here.
