Perdue to report more than $7 million for campaign.
Dick Pettys of the Associated Press reports:
Last time he ran for governor, Sonny Perdue was considered a long shot and was outspent 6-1 but still managed to knock off a sitting governor.
He achieved the feat on a shoestring campaign and despite a barrage of television ads for his opponent fueled by Barnes' huge war chest. Final figures showed Barnes spent about $20 million on the campaign to Perdue's $3.6 million.
Now the incumbent, he won't have the same money problems when he seeks re-election next year.
His political team will disclose on Friday that it has raised just over $7 million for the 2006 race, with 16 months left before the general election to raise more.
