While the media has been all aflutter about Illinois Senate candidate Mark Kirk’s bio flap, even as the media has been sternly shaking a finger at the man he’s somehow raised $2.3 million in campaign cash.
According to the Kirk campaign he raised $1 million in June alone as the news over his bio inflation was at its height.
So far, Kirk has raised $9 million for the race and is starting some new TV ads.
