Let’s be clear about something here. DeVore launched his candidacy over a year ago (November 12) and claimed even then that he was trying to emulate the newly-elected President’s fundraising operation. California is an expensive state that would require millions in funds to compete.
DeVore’s campaign announced last week that his campaign crossed the $1 million raised threshold. That’s $1 million raised in roughly 54 weeks. Or less than $250,000 a quarter. Congressional candidates do better than that. Jerry McNerney raised $247,000 in Q3 of this year ($800,000 YTD at that time) and he’s a second-term congressman running for re-election.
In a few years he can run a full 30 second ad across the state for a week. Can you feel the DeVorementum?
Flap has documented DeVore’s lack of campaign cash previously. And, look at Chuck’s latest fundraising letter touting his endorsement by the Erick Erickson and the Red State blog:
It sounds to me that DeVore has already conceded the election to Carly Fiorina and remains in the race to stick it in the eye of the MAN – meaning the Republican Establishment because they WILL NOT support him financially or otherwise. Tell me Chuck, are you raising money and staying in this race to win? Or to strke back at Senators Cornyn and McConnell?
