Oh baby! Winning an election without selling your soul to Wall St. This is going to be great.
Yep…
Agreed 100%.
I for one won't feel "betrayed" if he does choose to accept some future PAC monies, but I sure hope and will enjoy seeing him fund his victory without that funding.
I think the populist sentiment in the US is on an upward trend. I travel extensively and build nationwide. As I get to know the working stiffs out there, tradesmen, laborers, staff, etc., I am seeing a growing awareness of the shell game being played on the middle class and, really, all workers in general.
They can see the Wall Street barons and the banking tycoons really have no interesting trickling down anything…ever. The people I get to know are keenly aware of the diminishing opportunities being provided to them by the new economic paradigm and their sense of betrayal is growing. When public approval of Congress falls below 10%..it reflects an understanding that the system is corrupt.
I used to have a sig line that read…" Morality is what keeps the poor from killing the rich."
Agreed…
Let's hope so but it's still early days. Remember, the better Andrew does and the more of a threat he appears to be early on, the more motivation for the PAC and other money to come pouring into Coffman. They won't be making the mistake of underestimating the threat for as long as they did with Miklosi who shouldn't have come anywhere near as close as he did.
So I'm not jumping up and down and cheering over Andrew's no PAC decision yet. And plenty of PAC money comes from great worker and citizen groups too, you know. It isn't all corporate. A huge influx of cash to Coffman later in the day when people finally start paying attention and after Andrew's plucky independent donors are largely tapped out could still pose a very serious obstacle.
Still, willing to admit it looks pretty good so far.
I'm eagerly anticipating receiving another fundraising letter from Coffman. Just guessing, but it'll probably include the GOP Freedom Agenda:
1. Keep women barefoot and pregnant
2. The right to vote is exclusively for land-owning, white males
3. Eliminate Pensions, Social Security and Medicare
4. Plus anything else the Koch brothers want
5. Regulating toxic emissions or any other form of government restrictions on polluting industries is a "taking" that requires compensation.
and, if I may…5. the right to marry is exclusively for heterosexual couples.
With all present carrying their loaded, semi-automatic pistols and rifles.
I spoke with Andrew's campaign treasurer a few weeks ago, and he thought the no PAC pledge would be about a 4-5% hit to their fundrasing total; way less than the outside ads from the DCCC and other groups would make up for.
Hope they're right. So he's not too fussy to take money from outside groups?
He doesn't have to. They can run ads on his behalf, so long as they don't co-ordinate, and he stays clean.
I hope you're right, but I am still a critic.
I would love to get Buddy Roemer and Andrew on a stage together. That would be an interesting conversation.
The breakdown of his money income is great. 91% in-state and 80% under $100 means there's lots of room to grow the warchest.
As we get closer next year, expect the in-state number to drop a bit unless it becomes clear that the race is lopsided; Democrats have the grassroots funding via ActBlue thing down pat, so you can expect to see little fundraising thermometers start popping up for Andrew late this year and in to next.
