Tammy's $2M quarter:
Wisconsin Democratic Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin announced Wednesday morning raising $2 million during the first fundraising quarter, allowing her to bank $2.7 million for what's expected to be one of the most competitive upper chamber battles in the country.
That's more than three times the amount of Republican Mark Neumann, who announced a $650,000 quarter Tuesday.
Other notable first quarter fundraisers include:
Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, who is ripping to shreds her reputation as a middling fundraiser, pounded out a $2.3 million haul to put her cash on hand at $6 million.
Ohio Democratic Rep. Betty Sutton did $455,321, topping GOP Rep. Jim Renacci's $431,000 and closing the gap in their member-vs.-member showdown.
Illinois GOP Rep. Robert Dold puts up $602,407 for his hotly contested reelection fight in the 10th District.  That leaves him with $1.6 million cash on hand.
New Hampshire's Annie Kuster piles on another $350,000 for her challenge to the vulnerable Rep. Charlie Bass. 
Iraq war veteran and Navy reserve Ron DeSantis, a Republican, pulls $227,000 in 52 days for Florida's new 6th Congressional District.
