More on Mongiardo

By noreply@blogger.com (Cesspoole)

Although Joe and Jake have already done a good job of covering the details of Dr. Dan's abysmal second quarter, I had a couple of thoughts after reading their analysis that I wanted to share.

First, the wide gap in between Daniel's cash-on-hand (just under 486K) and his quarterly report (303K) means he's been spending money like wild. Of course, he's got a payroll to meet, and some top-tier consultants (SKD, Scott Gale, and Fred Yang, better known as Advisor B) ; still, he apparently spent nearly 300K in this quarter. Where did it all go?

Here.

"But, anonymous guy on the internet" you protest, "why are you showing me the 2004 report?"

And now I direct you to the line of that report that reads "Candidate Loans.

DSCC chair gloats about Jack Conway, ignores Dan Mongiardo

By noreply@blogger.com (Media Czech)

DSCC Chair Bob Menendez was on MSNBC to talk about the 2010 Senate races, and check out who the DSCC is hot about (and not about):
MSNBC: Let's turn from policy to politics for a minute. You head up the Democratic Senate Campaign Comittee. My thought was after two big Democratic wins in 2006 and 2008 that we would see a lot of, if you will, "mini-Obama's"; That we might see an Obama boomlet..where there'd be a number of 30 and 40 year old candidates with pedigrees like President Obama, or Sec. Duncan who are ready to run for office in New Hampshire and other places.

McConnell plays without NRSC help

By Alex Isenstadt, Politicker.com Reporter

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Louisville) enters Tuesday with his political fate on the line, and without the help of a cash-strapped national Republican Party.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee has not aired advertisements in support of McConnell in his tougher-than-expected battle against Democratic businessman Bruce Lunsford, and has no plans to launch a last-minute buy on his behalf, NRSC spokesman John Randall said Monday afternoon. The NRSC has faced a large fundraising disadvantage compared to their Democratic counterparts.

New DSCC ad portrays McConnell as delivery driver; hits on bailout, debt

By Trey Pollard, PolitickerKY.com Reporter

Incumbent U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Louisville) is shown as a delivery truck driver in the latest television spot from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, though the spot asserts the Republican "delivers for everyone but Kentucky."

Mostly animated, the ad puts a photo of McConnell atop of the body of a truck drive. The ad questions the assertion that he "delivers" for Kentucky.

A narrator says McConnell "backed George Bush's crazy spending and delivered a $10 trillion debt."

McConnell camp releases batch of regional ads; rebuts DSCC spot

By Trey Pollard, PolitickerKY.com Reporter

The campaign of U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Louisville) is out with eight new television spots today, each focusing on a different region of the state and what the campaign says are the four-term incumbent's accomplishments there.

Spots were cut featuring the Senator for eastern Kentucky, Hopkinsville, Owensboro, Paducah, northern Kentucky, Bowling Green, central Kentucky, and Louisville.

"Building central Kentucky's economy in tough economic times - it's a challenge," says McConnell in each spot, albeit with the region changed where appropriate.

By Trey Pollard, PolitickerKY.com Reporter

With 47 days remaining until the general election, the race between incumbent Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Louisville) and businessman Bruce Lunsford (D-Louisville) for the U.S. Senate remains one of the most watched contests in the state.

Saturday marks a landmark day for Lunsford, when the woman his campaign terms "the adopted daughter" of Kentucky will be stumping for his bid. U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) will be making two stops for him, in Pikeville and Lexington.

Thursday it was television ads, mailers, websites, and press releases. A healthy majority of the types of media used in Kentucky's U.S. Senate race were in play on the gas price issue, as questions on energy continue to dominate the narrative of the campaigns of incumbent U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Louisville) and businessman Bruce Lunsford (D-Louisville).
