Michigan GOP finds itself in debt/$240,000.00 deficit

[shaniqua6392]

Michigan Republican activists are worried that their state party, heading into an intensive and expensive 2008 campaign, is in debt and failing to raise the money it needs to be competitive this fall.

The combination of a $240,000 debt and a harsh fundraising environment for Republicans is expected to be the topic of debate this weekend, when the state GOP's budget and central committees meet in Lansing.

"Basically, we're close to a quarter of a million dollars in debt, and this should be a time we're raising money and not spending it," said Bill Beddoes of Allen Park, the party's 14th Congressional District chairman. "It's very disturbing."

Hopefully this will help Democrats in the fall elections.

3. I wonder if Dean's 50 state stategy is hurting the GOP

After all they are forcing the GOP to spend money in all states, rather than just the swing ones.

5. DeVos and the Ford family could BUY the entire state if they wanted to

So I don't see this as an issue.
