Blunt will declare 2Q fundraising totals on Twitter

Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) tweeted that he will release his second quarter fundraising totals via Twitter within the week:

We plan to announce our second quarter fundraising total on Twitter this week. If you are following me you will be the first to know.

Blunt is running for the seat of retiring Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.) and may face several primary challengers, even though the National Republican Senatorial Committee has strongly backed the seven-term Congressman. The winner of the primary will face Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan (D) in the general election.

Other candidates, such as former Rep. Rob Simmons (R-Conn.), have used Twitter to announce their fundraising totals. Simmons is the leading GOP candidate to face Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) in the general election.
