It's a blessing and a curse to be junkies for this kind of stuff, but a number of things stick out - some of them you pointed out to me earlier... Kermit Brashear, $1000. Jon Bruning, $1000. Hal Daub, $1015. Jeff Fortenberry, $1527.92. John McCollister, $1000. Pete Ricketts, $500. Ted Seldin (remember him from the Pflug Road pork project?), $1000. The first six names are interesting because of their potential roles in an open Senate race. McCollister obviously won't run, but he's put himself into the discussion by calling out Hagel last month, so his endorsement should carry some weight. The other five have all been mentioned as candidates, so their donations to Terry directly help him build his warchest should he decide to run for Senate. Ricketts gave Fortenberry the maximum, $2300. Other than that, the only prominent Republican I saw in this report was Mark Quandahl, the state chair. Not sure what to make of it - but I'm starting to think that Terry's running for reelection, and we better be prepared for it. I'll be real interested to see Hagel's numbers - unfortunately, the Senate filings are not submitted electronically yet. Oh, the intrigue.
