Coakley reports $1.9 million raised in second reporting period, $1.9 million cash on hand.

In a press release issued this afternoon, the Martha Coakley for Senate campaign announced a total of $4.1 million raised in the second reporting period, and more than $1.9 million in cash-on-hand.  That $4.1 million is cumulative, including everything she has raised since the start of the campaign.  Since she reported $2.2 million raised at the first reporting deadline, that would mean Coakley raised $1.9 million between October 1 and November 18.

According to a campaign press release, Coakley's $4.1 million total includes donations from more than 11,800 individual contributors, with more than 8,000 contributors donating $100 or less.

“I am truly humbled by this incredible show of support by all of these contributors as well as the hundreds of volunteers who have given their time to help us bring a different kind of leadership to Washington,” Coakley said in the release. “Our next Senator is going to address critical issues for the people of this Commonwealth – from helping to turn our economy around to assuring quality, affordable health care coverage for all Americans. I’ve stood up and gotten real results for the people of Massachusetts as Attorney General, and I’ll do that again as Senator.”

So we've now seen a significant boost in Capuano's fundraising, and a slight decline in Coakley's if the $1.9 million number is correct. Still waiting for numbers from the Khazei and Pagliuca campaigns, as well as the Republicans.

What do readers make of the Capuano & Coakley numbers?  Are we seeing one candidate pick up steam and another stall?  Or is Coakley's slight decline just a result of the massive number she put up in the first report?
