McInnis' donations plunge in 2nd half of July, while Hickenlooper's skyrocket
With allegations of plagiarism hovering over him, Republican gubernatorial hopeful Scott McInnis saw his campaign contributions plummet in the final two weeks of July, according to campaign reports filed Monday.

At the same time, his Democratic opponent John Hickenlooper's contributions rose to about $203,000 — about $50,000 more than he collected in the preceding two weeks and five times what McInnis raised.

"It looks like donors think there is a bandwagon, and they want to hop on board," said GOP political consultant Katy Atkinson.

McInnis took in $41,472 in the second half of the month, which was almost half of what he raised in the prior two weeks. However, his primary opponent, Dan Maes, did not appear to get a boost from McInnis' lackluster fundraising. The Evergreen businessman collected $20,338.

1. GOP meltdown...
Something extraordinary has to rise up in the next couple of weeks, and even then, the GOP will have a hell of a time trying not to have the whole party driven into a grave w/a stake through its miserable heart.

For all of the polls out there, the one thing one really has to watch is where cash is being put up. GOP coffers are way down, the well heeled do not see much of a future with the "Party of No"...:D
