What's another $1.6 million between friends?

Everyones favorite Plutocrat just cut his campaign another $1.6 million personal check.

Jared Polis has set a record for self-funded campaigns in Colorado after adding $1.6 million to his war chest in July, raising his personal contributions to $5.3 million.

The total is more than the combined total of what his two Democratic primary opponents, Joan Fitz-Gerald and Will Shafroth, have raised in the open 2nd Congressional District seat.

Added with the money he has pulled in from donors and political committees, Polis has raised $6.4 million.

Fitz-Gerald's campaign called the record "sad," noting that Polis, an Intranet [sic] entrepreneur, declared last year that he did not intend to exceed what was then the self-funding threshold of $350,000.

Amazing.
