Money has not yet scared Brunner out of the race

There is no doubt that Lee Fisher's fundraising has been superior to Brunner's up to this point. That is to be somewhat expected, considering that he is the establishment candidate. But, as others have already pointed out, Fisher's fundraising has been declining each quarter. While he has more cash right now, you have to wonder whether or not his donor base will be able to sustain itself over a long campaign. The longer Jennifer Brunner stays in the race, the better her chances become.

Despite all of the money Fisher has at his disposal, he hasn't been able to pull away in the polls. If he can't scare Brunner out of the race soon with his big dollars, he is going to be in trouble as more and more Ohioans start paying attention to the race.
