Johnson "money bomb" raises $68K
Republican Ron Johnson's online "money bomb" effort raised more than $68,000 in one day, according to a campaign spokeswoman.
Johnson, a plastics company owner from Oshkosh, is leading incumbent Dem U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold in public polls, and has been outspending Feingold on TV ads mostly through a self-funded campaign. The two meet up tonight in Milwaukee for their first debate.
Feingold's campaign held a one-day "cheddarbomb" fundraising event last month and reported raising more than $435,000.
