If Rod Blagojevich does anything especially well, it’s raise campaign money. He has long been a prolific fundraiser, and despite a looming federal probe of his administration’s activities, he continues to be. He raised roughly $1.9 million during the first six months of this year.

Still, his fundraising is down from previous years.

Midway through his second term, Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich has amassed more than $3.6 million in his campaign fund, more than any other statewide officeholder but only about a third of what he had in the bank halfway through his first term.
