Republican Dan Maes reported raising $32,722 in the last fundraising period, which isn't going to cover his mileage expenses, let alone get him on TV.

Maes now has $23,339 cash on hand, which is, well, not good.

Uh-Oh

So, with less cash on hand than his fine...yup I think he's done. Anyone wanna start a pool as to when he bows out of the race? He really got the Tea Party people energized here in CO though which was nice to see.

There's no reason for him to pull out of the race

At this point, he might as well just keep going -- maybe lightning strikes and he wins, and then it becomes a lot easier to pay his fines.

He's certainly getting a lot of free media

and as long as they spell his name right...

Many of the teabagger crazies who read the Sentinel think it's a witch hunt and the Sentinel shouldn't be covering it.

See the comments at the bottom of this Sentinel editorial:

Exactly

If Maes' troubles had happened three months ago, we could definitely see him withdrawing from the race. But not now -- not when the Primary is only a month away. You don't run a race all the way up to the finish line and then decide to quit.

he'll stay in until the end

If he just gets one big name backer, a few large ones will follow (aka Palin, DeMint, Huckabee)

It's only one more month

Might as well battle it out until the primary. If he wins, the GOP cash machine will be on his doorstep fast enough.

amazingly

Dan Maes had a better organization, gave a better speech and got more votes than Scott McInnis did at the State Assembly.

Hick wins by 20 over either Maes or McInnis
