Karen Crummy has the scoop at The Spot:
Percentage wise, Dan Maes has totally left everyone else in the dust.
Nice catch.
I don’t think this alters the perception much, but Hickenlooper raised this amount with roughly 2 weeks less time than McInnis.
Hickenlooper did not announce his candidacy until 1/12/10 and did not have a formal kick off until 1/20/10.

McInnis lot at least a couple weeks to Mustachegate, Elkgate and Profilingate, so it about evens out.
the Dem Nat Convention proved that.
Money doesn’t matter.
so he’ll get bloodied.
Advantage: McInnis.
None of this 1.1 mil is PAC money. Because that is what my support hinges on.
Vote for Scooter?
with his release of twenty (20) years of tax returns and the revelation of his of millions of dollars in charitable contributions. He increased his cash and his favorables. Scotty not so much.
All that charitable giving?
Earlier this month I had asked about how much one would need to raise for a state wide race to be competitive. It was suggested one million for tv and one million for staff. That was for the senate race.
Is it the opinion of most people here that it’s the same for governor?
If so Hickenlooper is doing mighty fine. I remember Ken Salazar raised, what, 7 million I think?
Like when one candidate continuously inflicts horrible press upon themselves week after week. Hick’s money would matter a lot of McInnis was running a competitive race. As it is, the money may be unnecessary.
I mean, he raised $62,000 this quarter. That’s pretty good – for something….
he’ll be raising $1.1 million by the third quarter of 2011! Go Maes!
When we answered your question previously about how much would be needed for a statewide race, it was in reference to a Senate Primary — the General Election is a different story altogether, because the number of voters is exponentially more.
Our previous answer was also about the question of how much you would need to have a chance to win, not how much you need to be “competitive.” For example, if you have $1 million for TV, and your opponent has $7 million for TV, then you’re screwed. What you need to win is all relative compared to what your opponent is going to have; you don’t have to have more money, or even an equal amount of money, but you should be within shouting distance.
At the bare minimum, we would say that you need about $1 million for TV advertising to have any hope of winning a race for Senate or Governor…but that wouldn’t give you much hope.
Candidates in all the statewide races will get millions of dollars in “help” from third-party organizations.
Now I remember. These senior moments catch up with me more and more everyday!
Getting old’s a bitch.
This is HUGE.
to make us proud. I expect a flaming finish.
…the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster?
the 11th Hour return of Cory Voorhis.

For the upcoming quarter, I wonder how each candidate’s stance will impact fundraising. Surely, McInnis will receive donations from Minute-men-types. I would assume Hickenlooper will receive donations from those outraged on the other side. Either way, both have something to stump on for fundraising purposes.
Farmers? Homebuilders? Restaurateurs?
to donate to Hickenlooper.
Talk about giving your opponent a fund raising shot in the arm plus the intensity factor just went up for those who now have a highly unfavorable rating of McInnis. In exchange he gets the xenophobic crowd who were already going to vote for him.
Supposedly these Tea Party supporters are just off the charts in terms of enthusiasm but wait. Who are those brown people and what are they doing in the voting booth?
I would expect the intensity level against McInnis to be up significantly at the end of this week. He can’t compete with Hickenlooper for cash but he can definitely compete with people’s emotions. Unfortunately a lot of them are going to be negative. Not the kind of abundance he needed right now.
But something tells me this is yet another area where Hick is the superior candidate. If Hick wins, each Governor would be able to say their win was due to one of them deciding not to run the year the other did.
Let Mcinnis beat up on mayes and let Mcinnis ruin himself, and hick will easily win over who every comes out of the fight. Great raising numbers so far should be a sign of a sealed deal in november.
