Republican Rep. Scott Tipton was off to an odd start in his bid for re-election at the close of 2011, with fundraising numbers so poor that he actually spent more money in Q4 last year than he raised.
Someone apparently explained to Tipton that it’s not a good idea to let your Democratic challenger continue to raise more money than you, because Tipton finally responded with his first respectable fundraising quarter since being elected in 2010. Tipton pulled in $378,000 in Q1 compared to $280,000 from Democrat Sal Pace. That Q1 haul for Pace was impressive on its own, which made it all the more crucial for Tipton to post his own strong numbers.

1. Fat self-funded check. I’m starting to wonder if both Tipton and Joey Coors are pulling this, and banking on a few days of good press before the numbers come out
2. I shudder to think what Tipton would have had to have promised to actually raise this much money. We’re going to mountaintop removal mine the entire San Juan range into Tipton Valley?
I can’t wait to see the report!
Interesting…Tipton’s largest private donations coming from multibillionaire in Denver on a company started from oil and gas holdings. http://www.answers.com/topic/t…

pile of money from Oil and Gas.
