And these days it is saying
Dan Onorato. The Allegheny County politician has $6.4 million in the bank to finance his run for the Democratic nomination for governor, according to the latest reports. That's 9 times more than his nearest rival in fundraising, Auditor General Jack Wagner, who reported having $757,000 on hand, according to the
Inquirer. The other gubernatorial wannabes trailed behind: Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty reported having $444,000 and Montco Commissioner Joe Hoeffel with $347,000. With most voters not knowing who the heck these guys are, money raised is a barometer of the the viability of the campaign. Onorato had already declared himself the frontrunner. This bolsters that claim -- until the next campaign finance report.
