It's On In The 3rd District
« Bunning Is Now Getting Long Overdue Props | Main | Anything But The Issues Cycle Continues »
We are about a month away from the kickoff to the fall campaigns and the 2nd quarter financial reports for each campaign have been released. One of the big question marks for me was could Lally compete in the 3rd district against Yarmuth!. Could he raise the money to be competitive? I think the answer is yes. Lally was able to raise over $250,000 in the last quarter. That was a nice haul for him. Heck it was more than Yarmuth! raised in the same period.
While Lally still trails Yarmuth! with cash on hand $600,000 to $270,000, he has the money to buy air time and get out his message. Hopefully, Lally will be able to further close that financial gap even further in the coming months. Regardless in a Republican year, Lally should have enough money to make this a tight race in November. I am anxious to see polling on this battle. Some internal polls have shown it to be a close race. We can only hope.
Note: The Stupid Company of the Day award goes to UPS. What better way to show gratitude to your employee than to give some of the profits he has helped the company earn and give it to his political opponent. I can't fathom a better way to boost the morale within your organization. Unbelievable. I am not saying that UPS should have given money to Lally. Heck I don't think any employer should be forced to give money to an employee who runs for office. But I do think UPS should have stayed out of the race all together as a sign of respect to someone who is part of their company's success. Stupid.
