Quinn Gets 2010 Fundraising Rolling

Governor Quinn sat down with the St. Louis-Dispatch Editorial Board for an interview recently and he's raised $250,000 so far towards his 2010 reelection fund.

"Yeah," Quinn said, when asked whether he will run in November 2010 to keep the seat he assumed 12 weeks ago. "I think I've done a good job. I plan to do that (run for election). I see no reason not to."

The Dispatch reports that Lisa Madigan, purported to be Quinn's main opponent, has raised $3.5 million in campaign cash so far.
