The Marxists can raise all the money they want. Wilson has gained more conservative supporters.
To: Scanian
He is in a very Conservative District but we can take nothing for granted. I’m another who does NOT believe the left-wingers have collected $1 million. NO WAY....
I think Joe’s seat is safe.

Old data on the Wilson total. It was reported this morning that Joe’s coffers were added to by over 1 milllion and still counting as his site is still laboring to keep up.
As long as the libs keep trying to match, it takes money away from the vulnerable Blue Dogs.

re: I dont believe the left has raised that much......
And even if they have it’s from a relatively few well healed individuals who frequently support the Left in an election. Joe Wilson’s take has been from individuals like me who have limited resources to share for campaign contributions and have to think long and hard before giving money.

I also heard his opponent had over $400,000 in debt.... so a big chunk of whatever amt. he has raised has gone to retire that debt....

Same here. The first time I tried, his site was down due to overwhelming volume of traffic. The second time I got through OK. I was bound and determined to contribute something to Joe Wilson and I’ll probably contribute again.

Wilson's opponent could easily raise a million from Soros, the Saudi princes, the abortion industry, and the labor unions. All have very deep pockets and are invested in Obama and his supporters.

I don’t either. If people want to live under the bond of slavery; vote against Wilson and for someone Kos or other lefties promote.

The Left could raise 100 Trillion USD, and they'd still be unable to unseat Wilson—even if he never raises another penny. His seat is now more secure than that of any other Congressman. No matter how much they spend, he'll win in a landslide—provided he doesn't die, and doesn't do anything stupid and/or disgraceful.

The Democrats have overplayed their hand on this one. This so-called fundraising effort on the part of the left will be an epic fail. The longer Wilson’s “You Lie!” episode stays in the media, the more donations Wilson stands to take in.

Soros probably sent a hunk of the bail out money Obama stole for him.
To: Scanian
Marxist Libs do not donate money to anyone.
If Joe’s oponent has received any mony, it is from
the DNC or Obammies puppet masters.
I am sending my donation to Joe...SC is one of my favorite states...Pawleys Island :)
