Numbers, numbers, everywhere

Time for some geeky stuff ("geeky" in that I had to do some work compiling and calculating the numbers)...

The Pre-General Election FEC filings are posted, and here are the results for the period of 10/1/2006 to 10/18/2006:


Harry Mitchell:

Individuals - $151,521.24
PACs/Committees - $38,400.00
Total - $189,921.24

That's an 80%/20% individual contributors vs. PACs split for the period.

Cash on hand at the end of the reporting period - $299,493.12

Money raised since the end of the reporting period, based on "48-Hour Notices" filed with the FEC (large donations only, actual numbers will be higher. That applies to all of these candidates) - $74,650.00


JD Hayworth:

Individuals - $109,512.84
PACs/Committees - $75,350.00
Total - $184,862.84

That's a 59%/41% individual vs. PACs split, and yes, it means that Harry is outraising JD both at the grassroots level and overall.

Not only that, he is doing it during crunch time.

YES!!

Cash on hand - $950,889.71

Money raised since the end of the reporting period - $61,700 (outraising him here too!!)

Total - $155,405.20

Raised since end of the period - $27,800.00, and that includes $4,200 from Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Sproul.

And confirming what the individual contributor/PAC splits listed above already told you, corporate money is propping up the Republican electoral machine. (Phoenix Business Journal)
