Every campaign posts a big first number because the candidate is calling in all of his chits. The real question is whether Pace can hold his (hehe) pace, and I say he won’t be able to. He does not have the connections Tipton has.
Why don’t you ever talk about how wealthy Tipton is, btw? Complicates your hapless pottery maker straw man?
We’ve always talked about Tipton’s wealth.
You have your conspiracy theories all twisted around here. Portraying Tipton as an affable pottery maker would be good for Tipton. You’re not doing him any favors by trying to discourage that while also reminding people of how wealthy he is.
Because David Brooks says the GOP may no longer be a normal party. And, by extension, ArapaGOP may not be a normal person.
Ensconced as the minority leader enables a multitude of campaign contribution angles.
Just for instance, what are there 500-800 bills introduced? How these are handled and who sponsors them are typically used by politicians in these situations (minority leader running for. Congress) to extract new and more beneficial fundraising opportunities for the upcoming years race. In this case it’s 18 or so months away.
The downside of course is the damage done to ones own party, the house democratic caucus and ones fellow members as conflicting goals and objectives take hold of the decision making process.
I do find it interesting that Pols has not used or pitched the wealth angle. I recall that Congressman Tipton is a multimillionaire, of course as a small businessman and investor he risked his own capital, forwent month long paid family vacations, government employee sponsored sabbaticals, paid for his own healthcare, and his “PERA benefit” was of course the invested capital in the businesses he owes.
Inheriting substantial wealth makes it pretty darn easy to be the nice little pottery guy and plain ol’ Western Slope guy.
Sometimes you ring true. Nice work!
— that Tipton’s not French?
Your straw man blargle blargle is getting weaker by the day, kid.
(And, if you’re insinuating that Pace did get these corporate-officer level perks, then it’s time to show your work, genius.)
In 2006, Tipton put about $157,000 into his unsuccessful bid in CD-3. He only contributed about $2,000 in 2010.
We’ve talked about Tipton’s personal wealth in the past, but only where it’s relevant. Being independently wealthy isn’t exactly a rare thing for a candidate for Congress.
We aren’t advising you to panic just yet.
Let’s talk about Scott Tipton of Vectra Bank and the bailout money. Let’s talk about Tipton’s completely fake country boy image. Let’s talk more about that.
Idiot…
