Scott Walker's Fundraising Aided By Out-Of-State Super PAC Donors

[geefloyd46]

WASHINGTON -- Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) made headlines on Monday when he announced that he had pulled in an unprecedented $13.2 million in three months to fend off a Democratic attempt to recall him from office. His campaign said "grassroots donors" had boosted his haul, with 76.4 percent of the contributions coming from donations totalling $50 or less.


But a closer analysis of his contributions by The Huffington Post shows that Walker was aided by individuals outside the Badger State, as well as by deep-pocketed donors who are fueling the conservative super PACs that have become major players in national races. Two-thirds of Walker's donations came from outside of Wisconsin, and $3.57 million came from individuals giving $10,000 or more.

1. I see that New Jersey Governor Eric Cartman, er Chris Christie, is joining the fray.

2. It's against Wisconsin law,

to start a defense fund and use political money if you are not charged with anything!

3. I saw a snip from Chris Christie's support speech I thought it was incoherent.
