Random Thought: It's a Matter of Scale

When Mitch Daniels has raised almost $13 million so far for his reelection, an additional $725,000 from the Republican Governors Association is not a big deal.

It ends up being less than one eighteenth of the total amount that Mitch has raised, not that the Democrat Governors Association has yet made a similar investment in the Long Thompson campaign.

By contrast, some 75% of the total money raised by the Long Thompson campaign has come from far-left special interests from outside of the state of Indiana.

I'll grant that $725,000 is a lot of money. So is the $1.25 million that came from the pro-abortion group Emily's List and the labor union SEIU.

The difference is that money from out-of-state groups like Emily's List represents an overwhelming majority--three dollars in every four--of the money given to the Long Thompson campaign.

Money from out-of-state groups like the Republican Governor's Association represents an overwhelming minority--less than one dollar in every eighteen--of the money given to the Daniels campaign.

It's a matter of scale.

That sort of cash is a drop in the bucket for the big green machine.

It's pretty much the only money they have over at the Long Thompson campaign.

That just might, just might be indicative of a significant problem for Jill, no?

But you really shouldn't expect a Democrat press release to be truthful, should you?

Particularly when it comes to campaign finance, right?

Nah, never.
