On the eve of the anticipated Democratic Presidential Primary debate, Ted Strickland dropped his embarrassing fundraising total for the quarter, likely hoping it will be swept away quickly by coverage of the debate.
But not so fast – this quiet announcement also comes shortly after reports that his Democratic primary opponent, P.G. Sittenfeld, has bought airtime during tomorrow’s debate. Retread Ted’s numbers also follow news that New Leadership for Ohio, a super PAC established to support Sittenfeld, collected $370,000 in just two weeks.
Retread Ted is having a bad day…and quickly realizing his path to the Democratic nomination will not be an easy one.
“While Ted Strickland hopes that no one notices his poor fundraising numbers and lack of support, Republicans and Democrats alike are beginning to coalesce around one idea: Ted Strickland is not right for Ohio.” – Alleigh Marré, NRSC National Press Secretary
