The Spot reported a few moments ago that GOP Senate candidate Jane Norton raised “almost $550,000” in the 4th quarter of 2009. This represents less than half the amount raised by likely opponent Michael Bennet–needless to say, a huge and unexpected disparity.
Does anybody want to take the first shot at what this means? Such a disappointing take was not supposed be the story here, and we’re still assessing the implications. Suffice to say that some housecleaning in the finance department–and lots more call time–is in Norton’s immediate future.

Sounds like she picked all of the low-hanging fruit in 3Q and isn’t impressing the next level of donors — the ones that are more critical before opening checkbooks.
which is very possible. eThen the whole GOP field is up in the air…again.
I think if Wiens is even ballpark he becomes way viable. This is a street cred disaster for Norton.
are gone.
And she’s crazy.
This is going to give, she is a lot of fringy statements out there now and everyone just learned she is not nearly as good a fundraiser as expected. This is a big blow to her credibility and should help the media start to notice all the other weaknesses.
That or Dick Wadhams is playing an extremely bold and risky game of rope-a-dope.
No, I think she’s just weak. And crazy.
Probably because she knows she’s going to win in a fucking walk in November, while Bennet is running scared? Seriously, Pols, is this the best your huttnersorosleftyliberalcrapheadlinegeneratorfrontpagedautomaticallyhypocrite-

Now do Pacino.
made you feel like you slept for 12 hours?
All train compartments smell vaguely of shit. It gets so you don’t mind it. That’s the worst thing I can confess.
OK, this is just the script of Glengarry Glen Ross, but you can’t hear the very convincing impression I’m doing in my head. It’s very convincing.
Brilliant! If you could get LB to add a dash to his so it doesn’t break the page every time.
I think LB has secret dreams of being the meat in a Huttner/Soros sandwich.

Honestly, it’s more fun to use proper grammar.
Didn’t you notice in my latest one that I hyphenated just to make it easier for you?
You’re still a disingenuous GOP wanker, but progress is progress.
I’m totally genuous. You just don’t like my POV.
My guess would be around 350K (which keeps him in the race). But if Ken did over 500K then Jane Norton is in a lot of trouble for the primary, never-mind the general.
to see if he took anything (financially) from Norton.
No interview… Lousy donations.
Seriously, people do what to know what they are donating for. If Jane Norton won’t define herself it leaves people wondering what they will get. In that case a lot of people figure they should just wait.
aren’t thrilled with her hillbilly courting of the tea baggers. “Jane you can have street cred with the crazies or you can have oodles of corporate campaign cash and bow down to the great God Corporate Interests. You decide.”
Moneyed and rich Republicans might be having a hard time digesting her strident hollering to eliminate the Department of Education and replace it with a czar for home schooling. Just a guess.
Its crazy, but I’ve heard crazier things out of conservatives.
I am more worried at looking at Scott Brown in MA. He’s raised 4.5 Million dollars in 3 days. She maybe crazy as a loon but so is he. If any of the Republicans can tap into this major anti dem backlash and the republicans smell blood millions will pour in.
The Rs have their one crazy psycho opportunity to smite their enemies and every teabagger in the nation is donating to him. They can’t keep that up in a nationwide effort.
They believe they are overtaxed, and what the government doesn’t take in taxes, it confiscates from them in fees. What little money they have left is spent on materials for misspelled home-made rally signs and red, white, and blue baseball caps with anti-Obama slogans.
that was pretty good. But Dems, believe that at your peril. I consider myself an I-leaning-D, but see a lot of wishful thinking by all’y’all hardcore D’s that Massachusetts is a fluke. I don’t think so. Rubio’s not a fluke in FL either. If the D machine allows Coakley to lose MA, the D’s are fucked, and no amount of “all politics is local” platitudes is going to undress that.
How much of the $4.5 million Scott Brown has raised in the last week do you think is coming from Massachusetts teabaggers, as opposed to the health care lobby that sees him as the 41st vote against reform?
By the way, I don’t think that NY-23 was a fluke either, and in that race the entry of a teabagger candidate caused a Dem pickup.
It’s hard to generalize.
