from where?
How much of this money came from out of State groups coordinated by Chuck Schumer and the labor unions that are bankrolling her campaign? The "the tremendous desire for change" she sees is the tremendous amount of special interests supporting her campaign.
I wonder how much of that was from big labor?
If Jeanne Shaheen can't even answer a simple question then how can she be our Senator?
Probably the 2 most damaging Shaheen videos yet...

She is having her staff goons block the camera of a NH voter (and possible constituent). Her staff is afraid that she will say something harmful and have to keep her hidden, even at an open to the public town hall meeting in Deering. Jeanne Shaheen has been asked many times by potential constituents if she supports protecting workers rights and the secret ballot in the workplace and she refuses to even acknowledge the question or give a coherent answer. A town hall meeting is a place where a public official answers questions from voters/constituents, Shaheen can't understand that (or maybe it is that she is feeling the heat of the worker's rights issue)
And she spent almost ALL of it!
How about the fact that in true Socialistic fashion Shaheen spent $1.3M in the same quarter, mostly on saleries for her huge staff.
At the same time Sununu spent just $300,000 and has more than 2 times as much cash on hand.
This race hasn't even started!
