Republican fundraising 'five-alarm fire' causes conservative radio host to panic
Republican fundraising is bottoming out and terrifying conservative radio, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
"Sometimes fundraising numbers, especially a fundraising discrepancy between two contenders for the same office, is so great that it ignites a five-alarm fire within political circles," announced Conservative radio host Dan O'Donnell during his Jan. 14 show on WISN-AM (1130). "Today's Supreme Court fundraising totals did just that."
O'Donnell panicked at dirt-level fundraising numbers reported last week by state Appeals Court Judge Maria Lazar, the GOP-backed candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court who reported the equivalent of a modest home mortgage, compared to her Democratic-backed opponent, who dragged in seven-digit figures.
The Sentinel reports Lazar reported raising about $200,000 — a tenth of the $2 million raked in by her opponent, liberal state Appeals Court Judge Chris Taylor.
