Christine O’Donnell’s political action committee, ChristinePAC and her Senate campaign have a combined $35,100 at the end of 2011, according to her latest campaign finance reports reported first by Chad Livengood at the News Journal.
O’Donnell set a state record by spending more than $6.1 million. Overall, she took in more than $7 million, most in the final two months of the campaign, and left nearly $1 million unspent. That $1 million was spent paying for her and her campaign’s defense to an investigation by the FEC into her campaign spending pracitices (i.e. living off contributions), 2) paying lawyers to file frivolous counterclaims against watchdog groups, and 3) setting up ChristinePAC.
With such a paltry sum in an election year, I think it is safe to assume that Christine will not be a losing candidate again in 2012. With the poor reception her book received, and how hilariously her endorsement of Mitt Romney played out, Christine O’Donnell may also be finished as a national talking head. I mean, aside from losing statewide campaigns in spectactular fashion, being a guest on Fox News is the only thing she is really qualified to do. If Wingnut Welfare cuts her off, what is she to do?
