Apparently I’m being called a RINO/shill for Ellmers for pointing out that having no money will keep you from winning.
I remember when the late FReeper Congressman Billybob declared his run for Congress against Heath Shuler. I told him he needed to raise between $500k to $1 million to mount a credible challenge. I’m sure he wasn’t happy about that.
There is no arguing with people who back the extreme longshots and pretend that they can win. It’s like they believe in magic, evidence doesn’t matter. “The grassroots” can do anything with nothing but moxie and a couple cups of coffee.
None of them seem to grasp that a candidate needs to have name recognition, which usually must be bought with advertisement.
One particular freeper often backs such candidates and when I say “few voters have ever heard of him” he disagrees, because the fellow activists he hangs out with have heard of them. That most primary voters are not activists is another thing they don’t grasp.
