Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway (D) reported raising more than $300,000 from his first web-based fundraiser in his campaign to win the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.).

Meanwhile, GOP candidate Rand Paul appealed to his supporters to help him raise more than $350,000 in two weeks for his fall television ad campaign. "I hate to ask, but I urgently need your help," Paul told supporters via email and social media.

Conway's original goal for Tuesday's Internet fundraiser was $260,000, and he raised about $310,000, his campaign disclosed Wednesday.

Paul, an ohpthalmologist and the son of Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), reported having $361,000 in the bank at the end of June. Conway had $703,000 on hand, and as of the end of June had loaned his campaign $525,000.
