Yesterday, we showed you this report by The Washington Independent that a whopping 95 percent of Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman's cash came from outside the district. Today, the Independent crunched some more numbers and found that Democrat Bill Owens also got most of his cash from outside the district -- 86 percent of it.

Only $121,596 of Owens' total (as of Oct. 15) $843,441 came from the district. The biggest donor, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, contributed about 11 percent.

By contrast, $12,360 of the $265,341 Hoffman raised by that same date came from inside the district. His biggest donor was the conservative Club for Growth, which raised more than a third of that.

what’s the point of this post? Obviously after Oct 15, 99.99% of Hoffman’s came from outside of the district. He was flooded with money from all over the country once Palin, Levin, et al jumped in to help him.

What do you think? Scozzafava endorsed Owens when she realized there was no hope for DeDe to win. Why is the NRC and the NRCC wasting money on lefties making them looking dumber than a bag of rocks?
