Funny thing is that Right To Rise can’t afford and are also scared to spend money on advertising even though they lied to their donors that they were going to spend $15M on TV ads in IA, SC and NH.
Their donors are furious about being lied to by Mike Murphy.
All the Right To Rise money is going to salaries, office space, travel, restaurants, pollsters and consulting. But no money for TV advertising.
Well, that seems typical given that recent (last 3-4 months) report on Tea-Party-esque groups’ books audits.
The $-to-candidate numbers were extremely low to nonexistent and the ‘overhead’ was high as a kite. There were barely one or two out of more than a dozen who could even argue they did anything at all.
So it’s really about “consultants’ right to rise and get richer?”
