Greg Hinz is reporting he’s around there
Unless Mr. Chico is blowing the money on expensive consultants, the totals should leave him with $1 million to $2 million to go on TV, something the candidate says will occur “in the first half of the month.”
Contender Rahm Emanuel is believed to have pulled in far more, perhaps $10 million, but isn’t releasing any numbers yet.
The biggest hope is that Rahm comes on so strong to turn off voters. Chico ran a fairly decent and lean campaign in 2004 as I recall so I doubt he’s blowing his money.
