Bipartisan Begging: Jill Long-Thompson Asks Republicans for Donations

I just love that photo of JLT with Tipper Gore.

*ahem*

Anyway...

She may be leading in recent polls, but Jill Long-Thompson's fundraising belies a sort of desparation you'd expect from, say, Richard Young.

She has only three supplemental ($10,000+ donation) filings, compared to around five times as many for her main primary opponent, state party establishment man Jim Schellinger.

In fact, Long-Thompson appears so eager to get money that she is asking Republican political consultants to give her donations.

Chris Faulkner, of Faulkner Strategies, recently got this letter from her and was kind enough to pass it on.

Yessir.

Begging Republicans for money--Republican consultants no less--is just the thing you should be doing if you want to win a Democratic primary for governor.

At this rate, the Democrats will be running Richard Young against Mitch Daniels on the ballot next November.
