Texas Gov. Rick Perry burned through the bulk of a once-sizable campaign war chest late last year in what became an increasingly desperate attempt to right his listing and ultimately doomed presidential campaign, federal financial disclosures released late Monday show.
Though he raised more than $20 million overall during 2011, Perry raised less than $2.9 million of that amount between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, federal records indicate, as disastrous debate performances and plummeting poll numbers crippled his fundraising efforts.
Perrys campaign had more than $15 million cash on hand in early October. By the years end, that dwindled to less than $3.77 million.
And a stunning end it was: Perry led all other Republican candidates in national polls as recently as September.
Much of Perrys cash late last year went toward media-related expenditures, Perrys disclosures indicate, including about $5.5 million to Paint Creek Productions of Alexandria, Va.
