The environment's just not good for a Democrat fund raising right now.

The environment's just not good for Democrat fundraising right now.

It's a concern. But right now, fund raising in general has been lower than we had hoped, and we've been focusing so heavily on direct voter contact and get-out-the-vote, that we have not done a good enough job in raising money in the Valley.

Bob's message plays very well in particular in the Valley because he's focusing on improving schools and building top-flight schools for all areas, not just for wealthier areas.

When you're outspent and you don't have the resources of your opponents, ... you have to run every day like the next day is Election Day.

Maybe Chris doesn't know the difference. This is a slanderous distortion of the record, and Chris Bell should be ashamed of himself.

We ran a hard race. We shook things up, ... and we think we did some good things.

We have some challenges to overcome in terms of fund-raising, but Bob is definitely getting his message out.
