Thus far today, Melina Kennedy's campaign has filed two large contribution, supplemental reports showing her raising an astonishing $96,300.

Under Indiana law, a candidate has to file a supplemental report any time they receive a contribution more than $1,000 during the final days of the campaign.

The $96,300 total includes a surprising $25,000 contribution from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg is a former Republican turned Independent who until recently had employed former Indianapolis Mayor Steve Goldsmith as Deputy Mayor.  Goldsmith, a Republican, is a close adviser of Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard.

Kennedy's reports are also noteworthy for a $10,000 contribution from Cindy Simon Skjodt.
