Following is a chart summarizing the third quarter FEC filings for all senate candidates. What really struck me about this is the amount of money senators with no opposition or race this year have. Why does Ted Kennedy need $7.4 million? Shouldn't he be giving some of that to Harold Ford, Claire McCaskill or Jim Webb?
