But it doesn’t mean squat. Jane Norton raised $500,000 in her first quarter and was only in the race for a month of that quarter, much like Garnett. She did not raise $1.5 million in subsequent quarters. Garnett will probably see a similar slowing.
But there’s a lot of low-hanging fruit when you first declare.
Low hanging but still averaging $2K a day since he declared. It’s just nice to have a Dem in this race. For the longest time, it was Suthers sitting on the throne alone. At least he’ll have to work for it in 2010.
It shows he can do it. Lots remaining to be accomplished, but so far I’d say this is great.
I was curious so I looked up Suthers cash-on-hand: $195,959.70
So, Garnett will have to raise $200,000 or more by the end of July to be ready to campaign going into the fall? He’ll have to increase his intake to catch up to Suthers.
But I agree with what Ralphie says. We’ll have to look at it again in 30 days.
Be that as it may, I did catch Garnett on TV Sunday and I was impressed with his straightforward manor and differentiating himself from Suthers on the issues.
I sincerely hope he can make a credible race out of it, because Suthers shouldn’t get a pass. AG is a more important position than most think.
In the executive branch, it’s second only to the governor in power. It’s much to important to leave to a John C. Calhoun Nullificationist Clone.
The only difference between John Suthers and John C. Calhoun is that Calhoun didn’t embarrass South Carolina.
When you hear him speak in great detail about issues, about the race, about how he distinguishes himself from his opponent, about what the AG’s office can and should be doing, it’s difficult to believe he has been in the race less than a month.
He mentioned that there’s a debate scheduled between the two of them at DU Law School June 2nd, I believe. I don’t know any details but if it’s open to the public, and perhaps televised or at least taped, could help Garnett a great deal.
Stan Garnett was billed as a major fundraiser. Yet, he is only raising at a $2000 a day rate. Even, if he can keep this pace up he will still end up with less than $500,000 which will not be enough to win.
Suthers has been raising funds for a while, people aren’t excited to write another check for a race like this. Look at the downturn in the Treasurer race money raising
