Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter’s campaign announced today that he had raised $330,000 in Q1, leaving him with a total cash-on-hand (COH) amount of about $1.25 million.
Perlmutter has been a prolific fundraiser since he was first elected in 2006, and his campaign says that his Q1 total is the most he has raised in any quarter since taking office in 2007.
At the end of last year, Perlmutter had a sizable COH lead over Republicans Lang Sias ($30,931) and Ryan Frazier ($280,355). Perlmutter had a little more than $1 million COH after 2009.

need any paid campaign staffers?
on this race believing that Perlmutter’s vote on Health Care makes him vulnerable.
Please please let them sink a ton of dough into trying to unseat Perlmutter.

think “this one” had even begun?
He didn’t do as well as Perlmutter, but he’s staying competitive for a challenger without a prayer.
I think he’s a thoughtful guy and he clearly can both raise funds and campaign. Why they’re wasting him on unwinnable seats is beyond me.
Perlmutter raised more cash in his Congressional race than Romanoff raised in his quixotic Senate race.
That one is going to leave a mark if it turns out be true.
The Romanoff faithful truly believe that you can win a national political race with virtue alone. The bigger the virtue the less the need for money so Andrew should be able to lock up the nomination by the 15th of April.
Money – low
polls- falling
Can we focus on the R’s now?
How many comments does it take for every pols article to go back to how much money Romanoff and Bennet are raising? I think there are enough about that…
kma, dh.
Once upon a time I read and critiqued a lot of business plans for proposed start up business ideas.
Some were something, many were nothing.
Tne ones that were nothing were always trying to direct my attention to the parts of their plan that were awesome- if they had funding but no viable product idea, it was all about funding. When they had product ideas, but were unfunded and unfundable it was all about the potential for their product. If they had neither, it was all about something else.
The reason it keeps coming up is not because it’s a convenient way to point out the weakness of the campaign. It’s because WITHOUT MEDIA, HE CAN’T WIN, AND WITHOUT MONEY THERE IS NO MEDIA.
It matters.
If Romanoff had done better, he would have announced it prior to the big county conventions tomorrow.
BTW – I think Bennet has virtue and money.
Speaking of Romanoff, does anybody have a guess at how much of a war chest a senate candidate needs to raise for the primary election to be viable? Is it One meeeillion dollars (said with pinkie to lips and a doctor evil smile) or is it more?
Obviously it is all relative but there must be some rule of thumb out there for a Colorado Senate race.
We’re in uncharted waters.
A million for staff and some mail
or
A million for media – no staff, no mail
And that’s weak.
$2mm is more like it. and then 10-14 for the general
the candidates on both sides would need to spend $8 million to $10 million each before Election Day. Even that seems low these days, as MADCO says.
So for the primary $2 mil or $3 mil sounds right.
Does anyone think race will play a part in additional backing for Frazier if he wins the primary against Lang Sias? This could be a potential situation for Perlmutter. Thoughts?
but I doubt that Perlmutter is going to get the Tea Party vote if Frazier wins the Republican nomination. They might be racist but they won’t pull the lever for a Democrat either. I would guess that they run an Independent rather than vote for either candidate in the traditional parties.
Perlmutter isn’t going to get the racist vote which probably suits him fine. He is going to win this one handily because this is a continuation vote election and people are going to be voting to continue the Obama policies of reviving our nation and our economy which were brought to one of the lowest points in our history due to Republican mismanagement and incompetence. Perlmutter can win without the racist Tea Party block but can Frazier?
