...such a relatively little-known candidate, Sestak is surprisingly close to Specter in fundraising. As of the end of June, he had about $4.5 million in the bank - much of it left over from his nearly uncontested 2008 re-election bid - and Specter had about $7.5 million. While the state party establishment is likely to try to keep large donors away from Sestak, he can probably count on younger and more liberal democratic donors, including some nationally in what's known as the Netroots movement of progressive bloggers and Internet users - the same people that helped Democrat Ned Lamont upset...

The southern state, which owns the copyright, says the ban is the only way to keep the book from being misused by the far right.
