BANZAI! Ose and his Kamikaze Wallet...
Posted by: Aaron Park | 05/22/2008 11:19 AM
Doug Ose is going down - and he is intent on taking Tom McClintock, Ted Terbolizard and Suzanne Jones down with him. Doug Ose has to have seen the same polling data that the McClintock camp has.
BTW - check out www.terbocongress.org, it is an entertaining site and Terbo has some TV ads linked there. Unlike Ose, all of his ads are positive and creative.
Doug Ose has dug deep once again, $500,000 more was reported to the other candidates last night.
One can only draw the conclusion that Ose is
A) Trying to narrow his margin of defeat
B) Gone on a Kamikaze mission to do as much damage to McClintock as possible. (see also the latest barrage of Military attacks which play right into Colonel Yo-Yo's hands)
C) He is believing different polling data than McClintock has
D) He is playing fast and loose with the millionaire ammendment rules and reporting the money after it has been spent
E) All of the Above
I pick E - BANZAI!
For those of you scoring at home - $2.05 million of Ose's own money.
Women's right to vote didn't exist until they fought for it. Blacks rights for equality didn't happen until...
IF there are 90,000 Republican votes cast in this primary, which might be a little high.
And IF Mr. Ose gets 27% of those votes, which is what the recent polling suggests.
That will work out to just under $85 PER VOTE, which is about average for MTA candidates!

PS: Yes, this also means that MTA's commissions are now well over $300,000 so they will have plenty of funding and staff to work against other fine conservative candidates!
PPS: Maybe just for fun we should start a little Red County pool on what we think Doug's final cost per vote will be.
Ah so the pollsters are saying Tom McClintock will win. This leads me to wonder if someone from my native state of Indiana is behind this good news...
"Votes are like trees, if you are trying to build a forest. If you have more trees than you have forests, then at that point the pollsters will probably say you will win."
former VP, Dan Quayle...
Hey, this guy got all the way to being a heartbeat away from being POTUS
$85 per vote... that is amazing!!!
John... I want to join the pool. I will put in at $120 per vote when it is all said and done. I think Ose's trust fund from his daddy has only begun to dump $ in.
$82.20
Boy!! With all that money McNally-Temple is getting for consultation, they will sure make better roadmaps...What...they don't make roadmaps?...never mind.
Rock over London!! Rock on Chicago!! Basha's, thank you for being a friend!!
