21 fliers, oodles of cash

I've got 21 different fliers for and against four candidates scattering on my office floor right now -- Burr, Kelley, Abrams and Goodwin. Thanks to those who helped me collect them.

The most attention has gone to Abrams with 10 mailers total: Seven pro-Abrams and three anti-Abrams.

Six pro Burr.

Six pro Goodwin, one anti-Goodwin

One pro Kelley

At $5,000 average cost (conservative estimate, I think) that's over $100,000. Most of these were from outside groups and NOT the candidate's campaigns.

*I'm surprised we didn't see more fliers/mailers for Kasha. She received several in 2004 from Americans for Prosperity and Club for Growth.

Who funded all the "paid for by Democrat party" pieces? Can't we see that list of donors? That's alot of money wraped up there.

Kasha didn't waste money touting herself.

I always throw that junk in the garbage anyway- I don't appreciate the money spent on campaigns when many Americans can't even afford prescriptions and medical care. The fact that Obama spent millions so-called commercial (30 minutes-really?) trying to buy votes proves this guy is in no way realistic on the economy.

We refused all the political adds that came in the mail the last couple of week. We also didn't vote for either of the candidates for the State Senate as they are both bad.

wouldn't that be an incredible statment if everyone refused the candidate's junkmail. maybe they would understand we are concerned about the economy not them getting a high paid salary.
