Mike Jackson for Congress campaign sputters, stalls

From today's Houston Chronicle:

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Mike Jackson‘s fundraising in CD36 has been less than impressive? Just over $200K total, with $50K of that being loans, and $75K on hand, for a veteran legislator who’s been running since the beginning and is the consensus favorite?...The guy who’s gonna win generally has no trouble raking in the dough. Anyone want to venture a theory about this?
