Kinder Bailout Comes Just in Time To Rescue Sagging Schweich Fundraising Effort
Why, you ask, would Peter Kinder be dumping yet another $120,000 into the fledgling Tom Schweich for Auditor campaign just days before the election? Simply put, Schweich’s fundraising effort has tanked – BIG TIME – since former Massachusetts Governor Mitt “Plastic Man” Romney left town. Schweich’s political team has probably bought more advertising than Schweich’s finance team can pay for.
Without the big Jack Danforth and Sam Fox-generated checks, Schweich’s money-raising team has been lethargic. In the entire month of July, Schweich received a total of 3 (THREE) checks for over $5,000 (Kinder’s $120K, Sam Fox’s $30,000 today and a $9,000 check from a Julius Schweich). This after showing dozens of checks during the Romney event back in April and May.
With Schweich’s fundraising drying up and the Post-Dispatch poll showing Allen Icet ahead, Team Schweich may be in total panic mode with two days to go.
Keep an eye out for a new You Tube music video featuring Schweich singing to Kinder while plagiarizing ZZ Top –- "Gimme All Your Money."
