LaMarche (G-ME) leads in cash on hand?

This is probably a temporary anomoly, but according to WBLZ, after qualifying for public funding after receiving more than 2500 small donations, Pat LaMarche, 2004 Green Party V.P. candidate, is leading John Balducci, Peter Mills and Chandler Woodcock in cash on hand

Including donations from the previous reporting period, Baldacci has raised 383,692 dollars. Subtracting when he's spent, Baldacci has 160,982 in cash on hand.

Republican State Senators Peter Mills of Cornville and Chandler Woodcock of Farmington have each received 200,000 dollars by qualifying for Clean Election funds. Mills has 159,720 in cash on hand, and Woodcock has 180,507 dollars in cash to spend.

Green Independent candidate Pat LaMarche has also received 200,000 dollars by qualifying for public campaign financing, and no expenditures.

Like I said, probably an anomoly - for some reason LaMarche, who ran for Governor in 1998 and got 7% of the vote, is showing no expenditures, which is obviously not true - she had to spend something to raise those funds and get signatures.  Still - it's nice to see Maine's clean election laws at work.
