[American Thinker] The Plame campaign has been a champion fundraiser, surpassing its nearest rival by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Over 87% of her contributors are from out of state. No other candidate comes close to such a disproportionate share of out-of-state financial support. Despite her campaign war chest, the Plame campaign has apparently not received a single group endorsement. By contrast, another candidate, Teresa Leger Fernandez, has received endorsements from at least four groups.The day of reckoning came on March 7, the day of the pre-primary convention. The convention delegates determine who shall appear on the Democrat ballot in New Mexico. To qualify, a candidate must receive at least 20% of the vote. Sadly for Ms. Plame, she received only 5.18% of the vote. Despite her substantial fundraising, her campaign apparently never really excited party insiders in New Mexico.
| But she gets to keep whatever her campaign hasn’t spent, so that will be a nice little nest egg for her retirement. |
