This candidate is bought and paid for by corporate interest of the worst kind! Any business that wants to "work the system" will have a "friend" in this puppet.

Hmmmm...I went and looked. He has old loans to his Senate Campaign too. It looks like they were foregiven. That would make it seem pretty likely that he's not looking to pay the loan back.

Pittenger's outstanding loan is from... his wife. Don't think the pressure to pay that one back is too high on the list right now.

Pittenger's in trouble

Pittenger has an outstanding loan of $500,000 so he's actually $185,000 in the hole.

He has also failed to file electronically for two recent quarters.

Dalton's in trouble

Senate — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:42:14 -0400

Pittenger has $315,000 on hand and Dalton has $175,000. That spell big trouble for Dalton. If Pittenger out rasises him then goes into his deep pockets for supplemental funding, Dalton may just get overwhelmed with money.

Good for him. He'll have lots of time for his shooting hobby after the November election.

We lived in Florida many years. Lottery tickets were sold almost everywhere. When the lottery started here, I was shocked at the dearth of places where tickets could be purchased. If the NC lottery wants to increase sales, they would do well to vastly increase the places where tickets can be purchased.

LOL...a caller from Dunn NC, an Operation Chaos operative, was just on Rush Limbaugh, while Bill Clinton babbled on in the background!...reconnisance in the quasi enemy camp! Ground operations at work!

THANKs DUNN!!!

Why's Bill lying to the people of NC? He claims that "If you vote for her, you'll make her the next president." However, that's not true. The only way Clinton can win the nomination at this point is if the superdelegates all turn for Clinton and ignore Obama's lead. The vote in NC doesn't matter.

Both Clintons are great on the stump. If you can't see them in person, watch the occasional CSPAN coverage of their appearance on cable weeknights and weekends. Pres. Clinton usually gives an account of Hillary's accomplishments (which are numerous) from the time he met her in law school. He also explains federal government better than anyone I've ever heard. Hillary lays out detailed proposals in her speech, including Iraq troop withdrawal, student loan overhaul, veterans and universal health care, job creation, infrastructure and environmental policies. Compared to Obama's vague rhetorical (and quite frankly) sermon-like speeches, the Clintons are worth paying admission to see.

Well darn

RTB - They won't be news then, I can go inform myself at that point. Have you gotten nothing from the campaigns?

Throw us political junkies a bone.

It would seem they have everything to lose by telling you an incorrect number. You posted earlier numbers sans SBOE online report.

I'll post them when they go up on the SBOE Web site.

Imagine Pittenger, Dalton and Dellinger have raised a fair amount.
