Raised: 158581.00

Spent: 98987.82

On Hand: 377675.22

Not bad on hand numbers, but still anemic fundraising for an incumbent. Mostly PACs and machine types–not terribly surprising
However, the fun is in Daddy Lipinski’s ‘charity’, the All American Eagles which continues to pay Lipinski Chief of Staff Jerry Hurckes for consulting work:

Of course the Pera campaign got something wrong in calling Hurckes a $100,000 per year federal employee. He made more than that:

Jerome R Hurckes, Congressional Staffer – Salary Data

Lipinski, Rep. Daniel (Democrat-Illinois-3rd) 07/01/07 09/30/07 Chief of Staff $26,499.99
Lipinski, Rep. Daniel (Democrat-Illinois-3rd) 01/03/07 03/31/07 Chief of Staff $24,944.44
Lipinski, Rep. Daniel (Democrat-Illinois-3rd) 10/01/06 12/31/06 Chief of Staff $32,099.99
Lipinski, Rep. Daniel (Democrat-Illinois-3rd) 01/01/07 01/02/07 Chief of Staff $735.56
Lipinski, Rep. Daniel (Democrat-Illinois-3rd) 04/01/07 06/30/07 Chief of Staff $26,499.99

Most interesting and most predictable however is the All American Eagles donation to Mike Madigan:

Friends of Michael Madigan 6500 S. Pulaski Road
Chicago, IL 60629
$5,000.00

Make no mistake about it, the machine wants to keep Lipinski in that seat until they have a candidate to replace him.
