CA-Sen: DeVore’s Fundraising Fail
Posted on February 1, 2010
Chuck DeVore's campaign set a February 1st deadline to raise $60,000. It appears this money bomb was a dud.
Update Eight hours later, DeVore's money bomb experiment increasingly appears impotent. Despite running ads on the Drudge Report, DeVore's campaign is still $15,000 shy of their $60,000 goal that they extended over several days. "Money bomb" was described as a "one-day fundraising frenzy." It seems that despite the weight of Drudge and Red State behind him, DeVore fell flat.
Update Greg Cole provides the definitive collection on this pathetic failure of a fundraising drive.

Who is Joel Bussjaeger and why are his findings not consistent with the screenshots here: http://flapsblog.com/2010/02/02/ca-sen-chuck-devores-money-bomb-fail/
I imagine the campaign could get $61k eventually. Just extend the deadline …

No idea who he is but he’s just passing on Chuck DeVore campaign’s round-up (and spin) on the “success” of the moneybomb. Honestly, I don’t buy they extended then reverted the deadline because of Justin Hart’s kid’s health. He’s the only one who could update the splash page counter? C’mon.
Chuck DeVore’s campaign is dead man walking anyway. It is just fun to rip because they’re so bad at what they do.
