Well after my earlier faux-pas, I've split the last hour or so between OpenSecrets.org and FEC disclosure filings. There's a nice clean summary here.
Here's how they rank in terms of cash on hand:
1) John Kerry has a slight advantage with $9.3m
2) Jim Ogonowski is a very close second with $187,000
3) Jeff Beatty is a hairsbreadth behind with $82,000
Both candidates appear to wear the "grassroots, let's-fix-Washington" mantle well. It's just a shame they're facing the most cash rich democrat in the Senate. Especially considering that in almost every story I've read about Beatty, the consensus seems to be that he is a very strong candidate but a weak fundraiser. Ogonowski, on the other hand, does seem well connected in the business community and has the backing from some A-list Republicans--I wonder how significant the Romney influence actually is here?
