Weller IL-11

Raised: $236542.68 Total: $904362.23
Spent: $74135.85 Total: $473136.58
COH: $692081.25

$5,000 from the Rely on Your Belief PAC–Roy Blunt’s PAC that is heavily tied into the TRMPAC’s efforts to funnel money to Texas.

Who is Jerry voting for? It came in on 12/30/2005.

Lots of shipping and oil money. I’m sure if you look hard enough there is more fun there.

Johnson IL-15

Not exactly exerting himself here

Raised: $34732.30 Total: $130913.75
Spent: $30161.99 Total: $120549.45
COH: $80022.37

Loan: $69274.88

That’s a secured loan to a bank so he will want to pay it back eventually so Johnson is very slow in fundraising. A decent effort of calls to PACs and you can knock out $70,000 as a sitting Member of Congress.

Cegelis Interview

It is coming–I forgot to mention–a bit of a cold and a small car accident last week took up a bit too much time, but I’ll have it up in the next couple days.

Also, Lindy Scott has agreed to do an interview so I’ll have all three candidates which makes me very happy.

Finally, John Sullivan running in the 3rd has also agreed, and I’ll try and schedule that very soon.

The Bistro is having a Bush Event?

Those from Bloomington-Normal understand how funny this is.

Pete from Drug War Rant posted it on Kos that there was going to be a Jesse Jackson Pinata at Pro-Bush event at the Bistro.

Here’s the Bistro web site.

I suppose it could be considered Pro-Bush, but in a very different way than the GOP would like. My guess is someone was being funny and moderately achieved their goal if you know what the Bistro is.

Nice bar, by the way. One of the few good places in B-N for dance music.

UPDATE: In case it isn’t clear above–it is a hoax–The Bistro is about the last place in B-N to have a GOP event.
