Of O'Donnell's 3.7mil total campaign donations, only $47,361 - or 1.3%
Edited on Mon Oct-18-10 07:22 AM by woodsprite
is actually from Delawareans. BUT, she's still asking for more cash and whining that the Repub party isn't supporting her. On that story, I just donated another $25 each to Coons and Carney. I wish it could have been more, but I've been trying to do a little each pay day since the primary.

Those figures were stated in the News Journal article this morning. Here's the source and quote
http://www.delawareonline.com/article/20101018/NEWS02/10180323/O-Donnell-presses-GOP-for-money

"She reported raising nearly $3.8 million from across the country between Aug. 26 and Sept. 30 and spent $1.2 million, according to her campaign finance report. She had $2.6 million in the bank on Sept. 30, twice as much as Democratic opponent Chris Coons. According to her report, only 1.3 percent of her contributions from individuals -- or $47,361 out of $3.7 million -- came from Delawareans."

I figure anything she has left over after she loses will keep her in mortgage money for quite awhile. Actually, since she's a permanent campaigner, she'll just probably start running again, bumping that figure up from running 3 times in 5 yrs to running 4x.

...and from her history ya know Christine the Teenage Witch is making the most of all that money. Wanna bet she can outshop Mooselini? Suckers. Hope those who donate to her lose it all and she laughs in their face.

5. She should move back to Jersey and run against Christie when the
governorship is up. Make the "Jersey Shore" look like "The Hour of Power"....

6. Of course she needs more money. She needs some way to pay her living expenses until the next
election.

7. $2.6 million in the bank, so if she spends $1.6 million in next two weeks
she will have a cool million to live on until the 2012 election.

8. Don't worry about til 2012
Her past record shows she'll spend the off year raising money too. That way she can tap into that million by claiming she's still organizing for another run. In no way do I think she runs for public office as a way to make money from conservative suckers. She's all for the people so long as the people live in her house, drive her car...
