| I don't know about y'all, but I get the feeling that Republican hopeful Bill Cassidy is phoning the campaign in. It's either that, or he hired incompetent finance staff who didn't realize what every single other candidate for Congress in the state of Louisiana realized ... we need to file a pre-primary financial report. And if he hired incompetent people, then that does not bode well for his ability to deliver for LA-06 should he somehow eek out a victory.
Now when you go to the link below for Cassidy, you'll notice a pre-primary report listed. Problem is, that was the pre-primary report for the original date of the primaries - September 6th. But Hurricane Gustav forced the Secretary of State to push the primaries back to this Saturday, October 4th.
Then the FEC delivered a ruling that the ENTIRE state of Louisiana now needs to follow the reporting period of the updated primary schedule, which means that if you already filed one already, ya gotta file another one!
Again, this is because there are primaries for Congress this Saturday - in LA-01, LA-02, LA-04 and LA-05.
Don't believe me? Click here for all the reports filed by Mr. Cassidy's campaign. Do you see any filing marked "PRE-PRIMARY" with dates "From 8/18/2008 through 09/14/2008"? Yep ... didn't think so.
But you'll find two pre-primary reports filed for Don Cazayoux's campaign here. Now, lest y'all think Don's people screwed up and filed two pre-primary reports, I've linked to Cravins', Boustany's and Melancon's FEC reports pages below.
Here's Don Cravins' filings.
Here's Charles Boustany's filings.
Hell, here's Charlie Melancon's filing, even though he doesn't even have a race this fall!
Everybody filed two pre-primary reports, Mr. Cassidy, as required by the FEC. Where's your latest report? |
