…you fire the fundraiser. Looks like Marco Rubio is on the ropes: “Campaign manager Brian Seitchik will drop off the payroll in a week, while fundraising consultant Ann Herberger will significantly cut back her responsibilities. With Republican frontrunner Charlie Crist trouncing Rubio in fundraising and Rubio trying to bat down rumors that he’ll drop out to run for attorney general, the staff shakeup is likely to fuel new questions about Rubio’s long-term viability.”

10 things I think I think about the latest campaign fundraising reports

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

1. I was one of the first to call for the City Clerk to post the Campaign Treasurer reports online, and while I appreciate the initial effort to post PDFs of the reports, the city needs to take the next step and create an accessible online database to see who’s giving what. Political Whore Wayne Garcia echoes this call in his cover story on how to fix Tampa Bay politics: “While we’re at it, how about better, more user-friendly interfaces…

Sarah Palin: all tail, no head

in Uncategorized by

From 538.com: Sarah Palin’s political action committee — SarahPAC — raised $733,000 in the first half of the year and is set to push past $1 million in the wake of the recent attention she’s gotten herself. On the one hand, this isn’t that impressive. Mitt Romney, for instance, has raised twice as much. Kay Bailey Hutchison, Palin’s sometime rival who is now running for governor in Texas, raised nine times as much. For somebody with a political celebrity dwarfed…

Tampa Bay legislators’ fundraising

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Not much to report for the incumbents…no one has done any damage yet in the race to replace Kevin Ambler in H-47…perhaps Peter Nehr will have problems with Tom McKone in H-48, but other than that it’s standard fare for Pinellas legislators.

Charlie Crist’s fundraising efforts in perspective

in Statewide by

From the SP Times: We’re not sure Floridians’ hearts will necessarily swell with pride, but our governor is on his way to becoming one of the top campaign money raisers ever. In a lousy economy, Gov. Charlie Crist hauled in $4.3 million for his Republican Senate campaign. For perspective, consider that the average amount raised by Senate candidates through the entire 2008 election cycle was $2.4 million. Or that the old record for a Senate fundraising quarter was $1.7 million…

Marco Rubio takes aim at Charlie Crist in fundraising letter

in Statewide by

An excerpt from a fundraising letter sent by Brian Seitchik, Marco Rubio’s campaign manager: While our opponent’s campaign declares he is too busy “governing” to join Marco in a series of debates, in reality we know he is cozying up to the establishment and special interests – not only in Florida but also in Washington and around the country. Thus, it should come as no surprise when the fundraising figures are released and he easily posts a monster number in…

Deveron Gibbons raised 21K from lobbyists

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Deveron Gibbons’ impressive fundraising effort — 115K for the 1st Quarter — is quite a haul. But if you take a look at the actual report, there is a lot of information that may end up hurting Gibbons. The first issue that strikes me is not how much money he raised from out-of-town donors, but the fact that he raised more than $21,600 from lobbyists (and their spouses), political action committees, and governmental affairs firm and law offices which lobby.…
