The race is all about the money | North Carolina 8th Congressional District

It seems that now that the race is kicking into high gear some of the candidates want to focus on who is "electible" and that means who can raise the most money these days. Unfortunately they also want us to ignore where that money comes from.

Candidate	Raised	On hand
L. Kissell	$527,485	$351,835
Dan Barry	$126,146	$78,706
R. Hudson	$260,389	$238,345
Scott Keadle	$540,479	n/a
V. Robinson	$328,914	$57,079
Fred Steen	$21,260	$20,217
John Whitley	$54,947	$24,950

You can read all about where Mr. Hudson came up with all that cash right here. He points out that he raised more than Kissell in the 4th quarter but fails to mention that Kissell has a lot more in the bank. No worries though, since the Republicans did a fine job of gerrymandering so Kissell would need a miracle to win this year. Anyone who knows politics in NC knows that Kissell just might have that miracle in Vernon Robinson, who won't hold back in attacking Hudson or any of the other Republicans.
