Fred Smith raised $690,922 by the end of 2007.
The Republican gubernatorial candidate raised $632,984 from larger donors, including state Rep. Carolyn Justice, Raleigh attorney Perry Safran and developer Andy Ammons, according to a campaign finance report filed with the State Board of Elections today.
He raised $28,823 from donors who gave less than $50; $14,500 from political action committees, including Progress Energy, Wachovia and Wal-Mart; and $14,500 from political campaigns, including state Reps. Mitch Gillespie and Leo Daughtry.
In addition, he loaned his campaign $1.9 million.
At the same time, Smith spent $1.5 million on barbecue, renting facilities for campaign events, production of television ads, consultants, signs and bumper stickers.
That left him with $1.1 million in cash on hand at the end of the year.

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.
