Tim Hugo Frantically Raises Money Against No One

From his fundraising email:

"As you may know, my opponent is prepared to fight until the end and has the ability to raise a lot of money. The Democratic Party is also investing an enormous amount of time and money on campaigns statewide. The Democrats have the advantage when it comes to fundraising, and I do not want to let that be the deciding factor in this race."

Actually Tim's opponent dropped out of the race two months ago, and has allowed her name to remain on the ballot this summer so Democrats will have time to look for a replacement for her.  It seems to me that Tim is a little better than saying someone who has basically dropped out is "fighting to the end" to raise some more cash.

At least he refers to the Democratic Party instead of the "Democrat" Party.

Don't forget your talking points Timmeh!

[Not Sue Conrad]

Of course, if the Democrats find an opponent to Hugo, they'll sink a few hundred thousand in the campaign like they are against Rust and Albo.

And to my knowledge, Conrad has made no public statements saying she's dropped out of the race. Maybe you should get on her for keeping it a secret instead of on Tim Hugo for campaigning.

Tim Hugo has an opponent its called the DNC they just love to drop huge amounts of money at the last minute.

Tim's e-mail says "As you may know, my opponent is prepared to fight until the end and has the ability to raise a lot of money. The Democratic Party is ALSO investing an enormous amount of time and money on campaigns statewide."

The word "also" means that Timmy is saying he has a real opponent in addition to the Democratic Party.

Since no candidate has raised any money, made any campaign appearances or issued any press releases in two months, I have to wonder whether Tim isn't showing some signs of paranoia.

What else do you call it when someone tells everyone that "people" are out to get him when everyone else is leaving him alone?

Tim must really miss Julie 'cause this is like the third e-mail with the same text that he has sent out. I guess he works as hard on his campaigns as he does in session. Too bad there is no opponent because he's never really been tested. He does some good "pothole" work, so Virginia Run loves him, but he's basically MIA in the District. He must need some dough to pay for the cute little flags he usually plants this time of year.

what source are you referring to with your claims NLS?

[Still Confused in Sully]

Wow, my confusion is cleared. Conrad has raised $326 ($240 of it from one person). That looks like an an opponent who is "prepared to fight to the end"...like the end of the week, maybe.

[helping unconfuse the confused Sully]

to help your confusion, check what the party put in to the rex simmons race in 07. 300k in the last few months.

If Ben ran for Delegate, then Tim Hugo would truly have No One as an opponent!

[Not Frank Hargrove]

Think Tim Kaine would come and campaign for him??

[Bruce]

We're not allowed to know if Kaine would "come and campaign for him." Security, you know. We can never truly know where Timmy is (I think the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is involved).

"Mad-Dog" Tim Hugo is raising money for a potential statewide run in the future. I would bet that he was looking at a run in 2009 if Bolling decided to run for Governor instead of running for re-election.
He's very popular in conservative circles because he's one of the few conservative Republicans left within the "Soviet Bloc."

Sue Conrad is still in the race against Tim Hugo, but running her campaign in her own way.

This is a very low budget enterprise. Anyone who wants to help is welcome to do so.

Your blog is wonderful. I think more people need to read blogs like this. It's pretty much impressive to me. Looking forward to another great article.

I think that he is right to worry about money issues - the amount of money you have to move forward your campaign has a large effect on the outcomes. Especially in our society.
