As the Grand Junction Sentinel reports:
Former Grand Junction Congressman Scott McInnis’ bid for a U.S. Senate seat in 2008 was short-lived, but it was anything but cheap.
According to campaign finance records filed with the Federal Election Commission, McInnis’ one-month bid to replace outgoing Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo., cost his committee $50,498, leaving him with $888,495 as of March 31.
McInnis dropped out of the Senate race March 21, leaving the Republican side of the ticket a wide-open field.
Democratic congressman Mark Udall, D-Colo., announced this week he will run for Allard’s seat next year.
The former Grand Junction Congressman was initially considered a frontrunner because of his nearly $1 million lying dormant in his former House election committee…
That’s one expensive popularity contest, especially given the result.

Your staff was robbing you. And who is this Susan Smith chick and P2, LLC?
Whom I believe is Lori McInnis’ brother
according to the Secretary of State.
Susan Smith, former Deputy Chief of Staff/Communications Director for LG Norton
You have got to be kidding? I figured that since the post of Colo. Lt. Gov. was at most a P/T job, the extent of the Lt. Gov.’s “staff” would be one secretary/ receptionist.
Norton had a deputy COS/communications director? What the hell for? That implies that there was a chief of staff above the deputy.
Exactly how large of an entourage did Calamity Jane travel with, and how much of Gecko’s hard earned tax dollars did this entourage consume?
P/T job? could have fooled me – from what Ive seen of our currrent LG it is a full time job and then some.
It’s very hard to believe that McInni$ didn’t raise any donations during his short run for senate. That guy’s tighter than a bull’s butt in fly season. He doesn’t spend without receiving.
Donations had to be made–it’s the queston of what account that money was funneled to.
“That guy’s tighter than a bull’s butt in fly season. He doesn’t spend without receiving.”
He sure was spending a lot on his wife with campaign funds to do a whole lot of nothing!
Or is that “hers?”
to get him out of the race?
Or to fund an aborted Senate run.
Liar, liar, just another Republican.
