Reminder: Hickenlooper Owns Gubernatorial Race

Just a quick note, the Colorado Independent relays that Democrat John Hickenlooper raised just north of $400,000 last month. Meanwhile, the conservative People’s Press Collective reports wistfully on fundraising by Tom Tancredo and Dan Maes:

In Dan Maes’ first month as Republican nominee and Tom Tancredo’s first full month as an American Constitution Party candidate, Tom Tancredo outraised Dan Maes by four to one. During the month of August, Dan Maes raised a paltry $50,201 next to Tom Tancredo’s haul of $200,485. Both lag behind Democratic candidate John Hickenlooper’s take of $403,597 during the same period.

Notably, the Maes campaign spent nearly half ($22,500) of what it raised last month on Secretary of State fines and legal fees…

Leaving Maes with, we expect anyway, more than enough to cover his bills. Tancredo, on the other hand, actually posted fairly strong numbers here, especially given the tighter limits he is under as a third-party candidate. Unfortunately, all that money isn’t moving his soft poll numbers a whit.

No need to really dwell on it, folks. It’s scenery on the road to a destination that isn’t changing.
