Norton raises over $505,000 in 16 days

Rather an impressive total, and it puts AR’s financial reports into some perspective.  Ms. Norton raised more money in less time than did Mr. Romanoff, and she is not reputed to have anywhere near the same kind of grass roots support.

I think this means two things:

First, I think Ms. Norton will be a formidable candidate in the GOP primary, and such a showing may well encourage others to withdraw, thus clearing the field.

Second, I think it demonstrates that Mr. Romanoff’s raising of $200K over a five day longer period will not be sufficient.
