Ronnie Ellis had an interesting fact in this weekends column. Jack Conway has admitted to contributing over 6 figures to artificially inflate his 3rd quarter totals. So that means he really came in 4th in the money primary behind Rand, Charles Merwin III, and Lt. Dan.
ReplyDeleteI thought his main claim to being electable was his ability to raise money??? Look out Darlene Price. If Jack can't fix the money machine he may have to compete with you for the "Otis the Bullman" roll in this election.
And Rand Paul had as much or more KY donors compared to his main Republican competitor, who touts %contributions from KY. First, trey did not state whether it was donors or contributions, so I do not know if trey was referring to a % of people or %of a monetary amount.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, my take is Rand Paul has at least as many KY donors, PLUS a national base who have only contributed an average of less than $75.00 so far - talk about $$$ headroom...
For his competition it is not so good.
Trey's rich donors are probably maxed out already, with little or no national base to draw from, let alone expand.
