Either Liddy DOle is running out of money or she is just getting outgunned. Either way, she has now resorted to spending her own money, according to the Charlotte News and Observor.
Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole says she is spending some of her own money on her first reelection bid, trying to offset millions of dollars in negative spending Democrats have used to make the race one of the closest in the country.
Dole and her campaign declined to say how much she has pledged to her campaign, but the commitment came recently enough that it won’t appear in campaign finance reports due this week.“You get such a lot coming at you and spending a great deal of time raising money — there just comes a point when you feel like you need to put some skin in the game,” Dole said.
A spokesman for Dole’s campaign, Dan McLagan, said Sunday that Dole has raised more than $3 million in the quarter ending Sept. 30. He declined to provide a number for cash-on-hand. The campaign of Dole’s Democratic challenger, state Sen. Kay Hagan, also declined Sunday to provide details of her financial resources.
Yeah, I think this one’s over.
Rick Santorum spent something like $20M to lose in 2006.
Go for it, Liddy. Put some skin in the game. Try and show you give a sh*t about North Carolina. It won’t matter. The voters are on to your game, and your time is almost up.
Not only is she wasteing other people’s money, but now she’s going to waste her own and still lose.
Is how she raised 3 million dollars over the past three months, and still needs to self-fund? It’s sad really. Especially when people like McConnell put out ads talking about the DSCC trying to buy senate seats. What does that say when Dole turns around and does the same thing? Hahaha.
