Perry announces fundraising haul

Gov. Rick Perry's re-election campaign announced today that fundraising reports due out next week will show he has $9.3 million in the bank for his 2010 Republican primary throwdown with U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
About $4.2 million of that total, the campaign said, was raised in just nine days after the regular legislative session and veto period ended, from June 22 to June 30.
“This is a remarkable accomplishment and a ringing endorsement of Governor Perry,” one of Perry’s state finance chairs, Jim Lee, said in a prepared statement.
Hutchison hasn't released her numbers yet, but she's been hinting around at how big they're going to be in videos like this one and this one.
UPDATE: Hutchison campaign spokesman Hans Klingler released this statement this afternoon:
"Kay Bailey Hutchison is proud of her strong statewide support, which is both broad and deep."
