Former Governor Mark Warner (D-VA) is off to a strong start in fundraising for the open Senate race in Virginia, bringing in $1.1 million last quarter. The fun part: He'd only been a candidate since September 13, raising money for a mere 18 days in the quarter.

On the Republican side, the prospective candidates' fundraising isn't nearly as good. Congressman Tom Davis brought in only $218,844.84 last quarter, and barely broke even with $203,299.74 in expenditures. His total cash on hand comes to 1,049,449.51, about the same as Warner's but somewhat lackluster given his years-long head start in fundraising for federal races.

The more right-wing potential candidate for Virginia Republicans, former Governor Jim Gilmore, ended his presidential campaign in debt. His committee has only $18,203.11 on hand, with $147,048.45 currently owed in debts.
