Bragging about how the Democrat Governors Association New Hampshire PAC is sitting on 1.8 Million in June of 2012 does tell us something about our Governors Race. It tells us that Democrats can’t say anything about out of state campaign money polluting local elections.
Of the 354 pages of donations that make up the $1.79 Million advertised on the June 2012 DGA NHPAC filing I could only find 198 line items listing donors living inside the state of New Hampshire. That is 0.6% of all donors listed in this report.
Of the nearly $1,790,000.00 collected just under $9,000.00 came from those New Hampshire donors. That’s 0.49% of all donations. (99.51% from outside donors.)
Can we say with certainty that whomever the Democrats pick for their candidate out of state influence is a given?
Even if the individual democrat campaigns donations are not all from inside New Hampshire (looking at that now) the amount of outside “influence peddling,” which is supposed to be abhorrent to the NH Democrat party at all levels of government, will still account for the majority of the money in the campaign, and there is no way to escape that.
So here is the 1.79 Million dollar (two-part) question? How many times between now and November will we hear a New Hampshire Democrat cry about the corrupting influence of outside money on elections? How many of them will then admit that their Democrat candidate for Governor is getting the majority of their finical support thanks to outside influence?
