Raised:47416. Spent: 22574 On-Hand:110396 Slower quarter, but I think this is an example of where I predicted a bit slower of a quarter. Still good money across the board, but will need to improve it for next cycle. Given he’s probably already signed Rahm’s fundraising committment, John has a lot of phone calling in his […]

Raised:508702 Spent:117371 On-Hand: 1124139 By Golly, I think EMILY’S List is supporting her! Lot’s of PAC money including banking–read Bankruptcy Bill. Sigh… Otherwise some labor (which may/may not still be there next report) and general interest PACs. And good on her–she returned the WalMart PAC donation. A good showing and hers is all for the […]

Raised:291807 Spent:61410 On-Hand: 529469. Someone’s nervous about John 😉 The problem with El Geraldo’s reports is that there are so many fun PACs to track down you are always worried about which ones you are missing a juicy angle. Let’s start with what does a Congressman from Illinois have to do with the Viejas Tribal […]

Raised: 128680 Spent: 22678 On-Hand: 291001 Loans: 192116 It’s good to be a political consultant in this race. If Gidwitz wasn’t paying enough people, the 8th District candidates would be enough to give everyone a good cycle. Loser of this report is Bartels who is going to have to start dipping into her own cash […]

Raised:13212 Spent:7477 On-Hand: 26554 Given he has no opposition for the primary that I know of David doesn’t have to show a ton, but if he doesn’t show a good amount by the time of the primary, he won’t get much help from others out there.

Baaawaaaaaaa Raised: 30850 Spent: 18731. On Hand: 128871 Shocked, shocked I tell you that someone who was handed a Congressional seat is to lazy to raise any serious money. Much of it is labor PAC money and then the nugget of a Holcim Manager dropping him some cash. Remember that the next time you hear […]

White Sox vs. Cardinals would have been too much for me–it would have been hari kari time.

Yeah. Anyway, feeling better, should be posting over the weekend including the rest of the FEC reports (the interesting ones) and the most recent polls.

Remember my ranting about a guy named Marty who did the initial damage assessment in New Orleans and reported back to Nagin? That was one Marty Bahamonde who testified before Congress yesterday Bahamonde had just learned, as he huddled in New Orleans’ Superdome with evacuees, that Brown’s press secretary was fretting about blocking out time […]

Criticizing Ronnie Earle in Travis County Texas for going after Tom DeLay is sort of like criticizing the Pope in Vatican City for being a Papist. I wonder if they have to file an in-kind donation form on behalf of Earle for the commercial?

Between the hurricane and this being a slow quarter, expect the 3rd Quarter numbers to be down overall. Those that needed a quick out of the gate number already did it, and lots of money went to charitable donations this quarter.

Lindy just entered the race and put up a small, but admittedly first fundraising quarter. I don’t pay much attention to the first fundraising quarter, though he still did show numbers above what many other new candidates do if they aren’t trying to make a splash. Raised:21509.58 Spent:4523.58 On-Hand: 16986.00 Next quarter will be the […]

Raised:11139.44 Spent: 9331.46 On Hand: 18181.36 With about $6000 in debt Peter dropped out and probably due to mediocre fundraising, but more to the point, what a pain the ass fundraising is and still trying to raise a family and the sort. I do hope we’ll see Peter back in a local race in a […]
