The Finance Report for Campaign 2008 Q3 is now in for the Coachella Valley, thanks to HuffingtonPost.com FundRace 2008. Much has already been written about the declining amounts given to the Republican campaigns as compared to Campaign 2004. In fact, some bloggers have indicated that Business in particular has been abandoning the Republican party this election cycle, for instance, refer to today’s post on HuffingtonPost.com at Fundraising Trends Democratic in Key Senate Races.
“With third quarter fundraising totals trickling in, the Senate electoral landscape continues to look optimistic for Democrats.
“Political insiders cite at least seven Senate seats currently held by Republicans as potentially up for grabs in 2008. In each of those contests Democratic challengers finds themselves either well positioned in the polls or well stocked in their campaign coffers.”
In addition, Jeanne Cummings writes on Politico.com at Business Abandons GOP for Democrats:
“Lag, lag, lag. That’s all you hear these days regarding Republican fundraising compared with the Democrats’.
“Now we can add a new word: abandoned.”
Check in the following to see the meager totals racked up in the Coachella Valley for the Republican candidates this quarter (Q3). Also, check the information below to see what your neighbors contributed.
As you probably know already, the Palm Springs/Coachella Valley area is a must-see destination for Presidential campaigns. What you probably don’t know, that, at least in Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Desert Hot Springs, Palm Desert, and Coachella, Fred Thompson raised $0.00 during Q3 and only 4% of the total raised by Republicans Coachella Valley-wide. (It seems that he is as lazy at the money trough as he is on the campaign trail. Also, Thompson barely beat Ron Paul in the fund race in the Coachella Valley). So much for the Thompson factor thus far.
When considering the donations to Republican Presidential candidates in Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Desert Hot Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Coachella, and Indio, John McCain raised $17,213, I.e., 35% of the total raised. Rudy Giuliani raised $17,125, 35% of the total. Mitt Romney, the theofascist, gay-bashing, flip-flopping reactionary, raised only $10,685, 22% of the total. Thompson (4%), Ron Paul (2%), and Sam Brownback lagged behind in the FundRace 2008.
What follows is the all-important money trail. See below the flip to understand who your neighbors support, and, indirectly, what they probably think of you, your politics, and your beloved country.
