Currently, leftists have reportedly generated $1 million in donations for Rep. Joe Wilson's opponent last time, Rob Miller. Wilson, for his part has reaped about $750k. But there is a big difference beneath the surface: : Kos and DCCC immediately organized fundraising against Wilson. Wilson's $ is based on his own appeal and spontaneous contributors. From Paul Kane of the WaPo:

Maybe they got a slug of the ACORN appropriations...
The Marxists can raise all the money they want. Wilson has gained more conservative supporters.
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.
I contributed a couple days ago, may contribute again in another couple of weeks.
re: I don’t 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.
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.
wilson is in a safe seat so its great news that soros , dnc, and moveon are wasting their money. bring it on .
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.
How about all the checks that have been sent, like I did which have’nt been counted yet!!
Soros probably sent a hunk of the bail out money Obama stole for him.
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 :)
