Man is Doolittle getting smacked around by the local paper on his fundraising and legal problems.  These two paragraph are a beautiful sight to see in the Auburn Journal.  This was printed on Monday, but just saw it now.

Doolittle, whose ninth term in Congress has been marred by a Justice Depart-ment investigation related to his ties with imprisoned lobbyist Jack Abramoff, trailed during the July-to-September period, pulling in $54,908.

Doolittle's third quarter fund-raising and expenditures left his campaign with $37,995 in cash on hand. Brown, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel from Roseville, was sitting by the end of September with $382,000 in cash on hand, a spokesman said Monday.

Got that.  Doolittle: marred, Justice Dept investigation, Jack Abramoff.  Brown: USAF Lt. Col. ret, sitting on cash in hand. Nice!
Love to see Charlie talking up all of the donors he has been getting and this being a grassroots campaign.

Todd Stenhouse, spokesman for Brown, said that the Democrat's campaign so far had raised $610,000. The total includes a $63,000 carryover from the previous election.

A total of 6,000 separate donors have given to the Brown campaign, Stenhouse said.

"We're getting a lot of support that really transcends partisanship," he said. "This is really a grass-roots campaign."
