SD-48: Barclay's Filing: $180K From Just Two Sources

This is why... (4.00 / 1)

I want to get Darrel Aubertine on my radio show. I did inquire about the possibility. Aubertine is a true voice for those "strong independent" individuals. He, himself, is a middle-class citizen. So he gets it.

Barclay doesn't. He's received handouts his whole life. Now he's receiving handouts from Bruno.

B-E-A utiful.  

Support our troops, not the war.

Just for that (4.00 / 1)

I should throw a few dollars Aubertine's way.

Take a look at his expense report. (4.00 / 1)

All very descriptive... All wire fees and "Professional Services"

$175,000 in "Professional Services" and not one description of where the money is actually being spent?  Is it all PR at this point? Or what?  That's way too vague for me.

Color Me Unimpressed . . . Yet (0.00 / 0)

Aubertine hasn't yet made any filing for his Senate campaign, and my gut tells me that if he had, it would look remarkably like Barclay's at this stage.

As for the money transferred in from Barclay's Assembly funds (Friends of Will Barclay), if one looks at the list of contributions recorded in 2007, of the $71,188.10 total, very little appears to have come in the form of contributions greater than $1000.

Aubertine's contributions during the same time period, however, while considerably smaller in total, also come almost exclusively from PACs or the equivalent (which is also the case for Barclay).

Let's just hold off on the crowing for now since we're currently trying to compare apples to nothing at all.
