and keep up the hard work.
For those of you who have been reluctant of Betsy’s campaign go to Besty Markey for Congress, learn more about Besty, volunteer and contribute if you can.
Musgrave is running scared especially now that her new image is being chiseled away by Markey’s A game campaign.
Go Betsy go! Good campaign so far.
It’s in the bible with all the begats.
understated is how many donors she has.
She will be able to tap those folks over and over.
I’m really impressed.
I sent my $50. It’s not my district, but I figure it’s well worth it for a shot at knocking out someone as evil as Musgrave. Wake up Republicans, homophobia isn’t going to keep you in office forever.
she’s using them for online donations.
I’m just wondering about costs to collect recurring donations.
the big cost is not Verisign (we use a paypal subsidiary) but rather the credit card system 2% for visa or MC and 4% for AmExp
But there is a cost for handling checks too – people have to spend time on it. From a business perspective, I prefer the credit card if the amount is under 1K
the number of donors, the gigantic in state percentage, the fact that it’s boatloads of small contributions – that all points to a gigantic level of support on the ground.
And the percentage difference in dollars – it’s over 25% more. She’s blowing away an incumbent. Looks like the Repub money shortage has hit MM
Not good, esp. since the RCCC is cash-strapped itself and it has higher priority races than Colo. CD 4 which, because of registration figures and past performance, should be self-sufficient.
As pointed out by her campaign manager the majority of Musgrave’s contributions came from outside of Colorado. As the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports
Besides for the usual suspects of K Street PACs, Musgrave has also raked in contributions from the likes of Kentucky Fried Chicken, Exxon Mobile and Wal-Mart.
She’s never had problems raising (and spending) money for her campaigns in the past. This is a pretty dramatic fall-off, and it couldn’t come at a worse time with the NRCC short on funds and difficult races across the country.
Congratulations to Markey for her work so far. And as noted, success begets success; with numbers like this, she’ll get donations from people who were skeptical before.
They won’t be there this year; they’re not all that flush with $$$ and they have other priorities (like trying to reclaim Denny Hastert’s seat as well as the two seats in MS and LA lost last winter).
And thet state party won’t be of much help to her since the GOP state chair has his myopic obsession with Sweatshop Schaffer’s race.
…and after ’06, they told her that she had better get it together, because they weren’t going to help her again.
Not my district either. Paccione could have done it if not for the bankruptcy stuff and even so, cost the Rs plenty. Markey can do this and Dems from all districts should help.
I do it in chunks as I watch how they handle things. But I’m pretty certain that she’ll keep nailing it.
