Republican fundraising 'five-alarm fire' causes conservative radio host to panic

[RandySF]

Republican fundraising is bottoming out and terrifying conservative radio, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

"Sometimes fundraising numbers, especially a fundraising discrepancy between two contenders for the same office, is so great that it ignites a five-alarm fire within political circles," announced Conservative radio host Dan O'Donnell during his Jan. 14 show on WISN-AM (1130). "Today's Supreme Court fundraising totals did just that."

O'Donnell panicked at dirt-level fundraising numbers reported last week by state Appeals Court Judge Maria Lazar, the GOP-backed candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court who reported the equivalent of a modest home mortgage, compared to her Democratic-backed opponent, who dragged in seven-digit figures.

The Sentinel reports Lazar reported raising about $200,000 — a tenth of the $2 million raked in by her opponent, liberal state Appeals Court Judge Chris Taylor.

4. No worries for the GOP. One of the oligarchs will swoop in and give the GOP a couple of million bucks.

If money is speech, as the Supreme Court has ruled, then one billionaire's "voice" can drown out the voice of a hundred million regular folks.
