From a fundraising standpoint, this mayoral race isn?t even close.

Since early January, Mayor Sheila Dixon has raised $1.2 million, nearly doublethe $651,000 raised by key opponent Keiffer Mitchell. The amount of cash on hand is even more lopsided with Dixon at $723,000 and Mitchell, a member of the City Council, at $200,000, as the Sept. 11 Democratic primary draws closer. There are eight candidates.
