Rich reports on a report to him that Boehner said Oberweis should get out of the race.
I’m told House Republican Leader John Boehner said at a recent event that he wants Oberweis out of the race. Boehner’s campaign office did not return a call asking for comment. I’m not sure Oberweis will ever drop out, but the pressure continues.
The problem with this is that the RNCC is short on cash and they don’t have the money unless they can find a self funder. Especially given their self funders are refusing to self fund.
Speaking of Ozinga, as Obama has shown, getting people to donate to buy into a campaign and feel ownership can be very effective and I even respect Ozinga for doing it. However, it’s a losing strategy when the party cannot come in later since it’ll be strapped and he’s starting late. He has to build a donor base up without ever having one before and that’s tough when you get a an early start.
