More 1Q Numbers

Filed in National by on April 12, 2010

Republican Glenn Urquhart, running for the GOP nomination for the open Congressional seat has announced fundraising numbers for 1Q of $512,000. $500,000 of that money comes from Mr. Urquhart himself. This number is certainly more impressive than Rose Izzo’s $700 fundraising number. Will Urquhart make a race of it with Michelle Rollins?

    Jack Markell put up $700,000 of his own money he earned from inventing the cell phone and he beat Carney.

  2. Geezer says:

    Yes, but Jack Markell’s total for that quarter was a lot more than $712,000.

    The voters detest unpronouncible last names. Next!

  4. Geezer says:

    We’re not talking about all voters, we’re talking about Republican primary voters. Wade and Urquhart, particularly Urquhart, don’t look as if they’ll fold their tents just because the party will back Rollins. You should get out your popcorn and look forward to the bloodletting.

    Awesome!!! My favorite kind of fratricide.

    So he raised $12,000? What overwhelming support.

  7. Who is the party? It is too early to say who the convention will back. The top three all have their supporters.

    David ventures into stand-up comedy again. The convention will back Rollins. The actual Republican Party — the folks who pay the bills — has no higher an opinion of you and your ilk than I do.

    Funny stuff. Reminds me of Mike Protack’s optimism.

  10. 12K in a couple of weeks without fundraising is pretty good. We shall see how he does in June and July when he focuses on it. Since he already has staff, trinkets and TV, he will need to raise some unless his wife will let him put more in. I am not feeling that until the general.

    According to DelawarePolitics.net, Urquhart has been actively campaigning and has his website, complete with “donation” page, since at least February 15, which means he’s raised less than $12,000 in two months. If he keeps up this staggering fundraising pace, he’ll have another $48,000 by election day.

    I would never vote for the guy, but look at Urquhart’s campaign website and compare it to Coons’ website, and tell me you don’t agree that Urquhart’s website isn’t vastly superior. There is no reason that Coons doesn’t have videos on his website, or an issue section. It is frustrating!!!!!!
