"It doesn't look good at all. Especially with that statement to the press that he lives "paycheck to paycheck." If that's true, getting a 500,000 mortgage would be impossible.

More disturbing, though, are the random charges through the PAC and the lack of monetary disbursements by the charity.

Ugh."

Worried newbie?

The media is bordering on absurd and in full campaign mode already for the democrats.

Hardly a newbie. Just stating the obvious: one of these by itself would be news, but not big news. All three together - then you have problems.

The charges aren't disturbing to me at all, but then again I run my own business. I often meet people at coffee shops for meetings, or pick up office supplies--the other thing I do is create promotions for my clients and it sometimes involves buying unconventional items from retail stores just to show how something would look as part of a direct mail package, or web promo. Then we source the product wholesale if they like it. I even have to buy clothing, furniture and other household accessories for commercials and photo shoots. If the client is on a budget, I'll have them buy the stuff. Sometimes they return it, or they can use it in their offices.

My point, and I did have one, is that the PACs usually try to raise money by doing promotional mailings, TV spots, etc., my thoughts are that the expenses they mentioned are not out of line with the ones incurred from pursuing those activities.
