That's all. You need a TON of money to compete on the airwaves.This would have been a good haul in Scranton or Erie, but it simply isn't enough to compete in the Phila. area.You operate in the system as it is, not the way you would like the system to be.

Curt's been doing it forever. No one wants a career politician who has no shot of winning this seat in the general election. Keep in mind Welch is new at this. Curt’s been doing it forever.

What's that all about? He also seemed to raise money from his fellow legislators. Taken in conjunction with the fact that it was raised over 2 quarters, I cannot say I'm that impressed. Man-of-the-people pads his take with contributions from dysfunctional Harrisburg and PACs who need his support. I notice that Curt raised alot of PAC money. What’s that all about?
