LA-06: Fundraising #'s by: ryan Tue Apr 22, 2008 at 10:23:06 AM CDT Candidate Total Raised Money Spent Debts Owed Cash on Hand Ashley Casey (I) $83,544 $36,744.42 490.58 $46,808.58 Don Cazayoux (D) $983,205.01 $804,575.47 $33,600 $212,324.32 Woody Jenkins (R) $368,542.91 $327,415.68 10,614.51 $30,512.08 Contrary to rumors, Ashley Casey has not received many contributions ... not even from her favorite New Orleanian, John Georges. She donated $45,000 to her own campaign in the last week. That's why she has $46,000 to play with. She has a grand total of 7 folks, other than herself, who donated her cash. SEVEN! Yeah, she's a viable candidate, y'all! Don's Cash On Hand is likely to go down to roughly 180,000 once he pays off the debts. Still, that's nearly four times what the others have to play with. Woody ... man, it must be tough be the most hated Republican in Louisiana. No wonder he needs Freedoms Watch and Lane Grigsby to come his rescue. He can't raise enough money to put himself on the air. ryan :: LA-06: Fundraising #'s Tags: louisiana, 2008, Ashley Casey, Don Cazayoux, Woody Jenkins, LA-06, fundraising, (All Tags) Print Friendly View Send As Email LA-06: Fundraising #'s | 2 comments by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel. You must enter a subject for your comment She could have reported the "dozens" of contributions ... (0.00 / 1) but she chose not to.  If she had "dozens" of contributions under the reporting limit of $199, she could have reported them.   And by the way, Don also has dozens ... more likely hundreds of contributions below the reporting limit of $199.  I should know, I have given him $50.   He'll likely spend just under a million, so you know what?  I'm glad the Democratic nominee has the ability to raise the money necessary in this screwed up campaign finance system we have.   Until the law changes, it makes no sense for Democrats to unilaterally stop raising money.  Especially when you consider Freedoms Watch and Lane Grigsby are dropping thousands in this race.   Buras, you've backed the wrong horse in this race.  All that wanna be Republican Casey will do is take more votes away from Woody than she will take from Don, which makes Don the victor.

You must enter a subject for your comment Oh, so I guess the DCCC will dictate his votes ... (0.00 / 1) You obviously are missing a few marbles upstairs, my friend.  The DCCC has ABSOLUTELY no say in how Members of Congress vote.   I agree that there needs to be a limit on the money in politics.  But it makes absolutely no sense for a candidate to unilaterally withdraw before the system is changed.  Because then we'll be represented by Woody.  And I think we both agree that's not a scenario we would like to live with.   By the way, I don't see ANYTHING from the River Pilots to Don.   Also, PACS can only give $5,000 per election, I believe.  I know the monetary limit for them is $5,000.  Whether it is limited by election or by year, I am not sure.  So, a candidate would never be able to receive $20,000 from the River Pilots PAC.  A candidate would be able to receive $5,000 from the PAC, and then money from unlimited individuals subject to the $2,300 limit per election.     "I was against NAFTA and CAFTA, and I'll be against SHAFTA." by: ryan @ Tue Apr 22, 2008 at 21:48:55 PM UTC [ Parent ] by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.
