Russ Feingold's 'Cheddarbomb': Fundraising Campaign Brings In Nearly $500,000 In One Day
Advertisements [?]
A clever fundraising campaign by Sen. Russ Feingold's (D-Wis.) campaign has netted $435,971 from more than 15,000 donors in just one day, aided by an aggressive e-mail solicitation push by several other senators. The campaign is set to reveal the numbers in an e-mail to supporters Thursday evening.

"My opponent multimillionaire Ron Johnson thinks his checkbook can decide this election. He's so confident about winning that he's already pledged to spend upward of $15 million of his own fortune, or 'all of it,' to win," read the e-mail sent out by the Feingold campaign on Wednesday. "Today, September 15, my campaign is launching our newest effort: '15 for 15 Cheddarbomb.' We'll match Ron Johnson's $15 million with the donations of 15,000 grassroots donors. This is our first-ever 'moneybomb' or as we call it in Wisconsin -- a 'Cheddarbomb.
