$800K vs a gallon and a half of backwash
Pretty silly, the media. Wilson spouted off and Rob Miller is raking it in. Somewhere between $800K and a cool million for Miller. A Letterman Top Ten for Wilson.

So what does the media report? Wilson's new campaign ad, currently being catapulted by the unwashed and overtly crazy arm of the RightWing/Politico Complex - the DrudgeReport. This is followed up by the disingenuous question "Can he take in as much"?

Dear Noozmedia: Wilson is down to the true backwash. He'll be lucky to get 800 donors, let alone anywhere near $800K.

3. When Rob Miller ran against Wilson in '09, he was outspent 2:1
and still managed to get more than 46% of the vote. At least this time around it will probably be a more even race in terms of campaign funding.

2. honestly the cash dosent matter as much as what his constituents think
his opponent could raise $100million but if wilson has the support of 50.1% of the people in his district then the money is mute, it would be interesting to see where the money both of them are receiving is coming from, whether local or outside..
