Christine O’Donnell’s national profile since her stunning win in the Delaware Republican Senate primary has generated a lot more than just laughter and bad poll numbers: Perhaps even more importantly, it’s also brought in a lot of money from the conservative faithful.
O’Donnell’s website shows that her campaign has quickly blown through post-primary fundraising goals, and has now set a target of $1.5 million. As of this writing, they are at $1,400,074.01.

The TPM Poll Average gives Democratic nominee Chris Coons a lead of 52.2%-38.8%. But to be sure, O’Donnell’s fundraising certainly does give her the means to reach out to voters and try to catch up.
