Bradley also reported that he has $516,105 cash-on-hand, which is nearly double the amount his rival John Stephen has.
However, Bradley's campaign committee is carrying a debt of $265,564 and Bradley loaned his campaign $90,000 two days before the April 1st deadline.

"I had a person ask me that once and they asked which is the most powerful position I've ever held and I would have to say being chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party at a time when there was an upcoming New Hampshire primary is pretty important in the scheme of things," Bruno joked.

LMFAO!Oooh, jeb's chickens have decided to roost elsewhere, it seems! He raised less money than ANYONE in the race, including a guy who bowed out and threw his support to Stephen! Bottom line is that people recognize that jeb is a joke and cannot beat Porter. The silver-spoon-fed trust-fund baby is in deep poo. Only $10K from PACS in DC? Gee, I guess even the DC people are worried that he can't win and refuse to throw money at him. Looks like the SS bradley is taking on water and the bilge pumps are failing!
WOW, that is quite telling.
WOW, that is quite telling. I looked at the FEC filing and Old Jebby is carrying campaign debt of $265,000? Let's see then, out of $516,000, that leaves 251,000 total. Gee, that number is almost exactly what he had LEFT OVER from his failed 06 campaign AFTER he bonused his incompetent staff and paid down some debt. Of the %53k he "raised" this quarter, $11,250 was PAC money, meaning he only raised $34,885 (direct from the FEC filing) from individuals, of which $8,450 was from out of staters, leaving only $26,435 from NH citizens! HOLY LACK OF SUPPORT, Batman! The numbers on the only other guy left in the race, Stephen, show that he raised $88394 from individuals, 86% of which, $76,000, came from NH citizens. When you look at the people who dnoated to Stephen, you're seeing an amazing erosion of Bradley's previous support amongst party loyalists. Bradley is in trouble, folks.
Something just occurred to
Something just occurred to me. The former congressman's campaign is in debt to the tune of 50% or more of all money on-hand. Gee, kinda similar to his voting record in which he voted for every friggin spending bill and voted to raise natinal debt, giving us the moonbat who currently holds the office. Yeah sure, he deserves a second shot. NO WAY!
False Debt
The debt is the amount of money Jeb gave his own campaign. He doesn't owe money to vendors like Hillary's debt. Jeb is way ahead in this race and will beat John Stephen in the primary and crush that horrible creature in the general.
Yeah sure thing and I guess
Yeah sure thing and I guess he doesn't know what the meaning of the word is is, too. Bradley is a dope. He does not enjoy widespread support in this race and the numbers don't lie. He also is not enjoying any support from the usual suspects in DC-they KNOW he cannot win in a general and now they will see that he cannot raise money in the state either. He was out-raised by a complete unknown, for crying out loud. Heck, who even know Forsythe was in the race? LOL. Keep whistling past the graveyard, fools-it serves only to watch you lose badly.
Former member or not,
Former member or not, raising money in DC is near impossible for a challenger in the minority party. It is not that PACs down there don't think Bradley or Stephen can beat CSP, it is they are more worried about upsetting the Democratic leadership in DC. There is no such thing as "loyalty" in the business community PAC world.
LOL-more excuses from the
LOL-more excuses from the Bradley toadies. As someone who's had the misfortune of watching this empty suit "operate" in state, then national politics, I am enjoying watching him squirm. BTW, I know I've read articles about jebby looking for money from the DC PACs, and he's come up wanting. I haven't heard word one about Stephen asking yet. My guess is that the DC PACs will see what he's doing to bradley and start to pay attention. Porter is VERY beatable by the right candidate. Jebby has proven that he is NOT that candidate and they know this. I cannot wait to see him cast onto the scrapheap of irrelevant, no-talent former pols where he belongs.
Better candidate
Jeb is a better candidate after losing in 2006, now he is fighting back and not sitting quiet;y watching his lead diminish like in 2006. Jeb is going to run an aggressive campaign this summer and has far better name id. Carol cannot beat Jeb. John Stephen could get it close, but he might be too conservative for parts of the district also. Even though I agree for with John, I don't really care about views, it's all about beating that disgusting ugly hag. Jeb is way more organized right now and his staff knows exactly what they need to do, I can't say the same for John.
Are you on crack?!? The
Are you on crack?!? The silver-spoon trust-fund baby got his clock cleaned by a low-rent nutcase 2 years ago and you try to tell us jebby-the-dolt can beat Porter this time around? You are delusional. Porter can, and should, hang the failures of bush around bradley's neck like a rock and sink him! Every failed policy bush backed, the lakes region fool voted for. At the end of the day, jebby has shown that he is nothing more than a backwoods rube whose family had some dough and he couldn't get it done in the dreaded private sector. The ppl of NH have figured this fool out. Screw him.
PS, the wolfboro runt of the
PS, the wolfboro runt of the litter is employing the same staff that failed him in '06-THAT'S gonna engender alot of confidence, right? Oops, nope,they're abandoning him left and right. Oh, let's look at the moey raised-Stephen.103K, almost all of it from individuals in NH and NONE from himself. Forsythe, around $100K, all from NH citizens and none from Frosythe. jebby, $143K, $11,500 from loser PACs, $90K from the dolt himself and only $26K from ppl in NH. Do the math, fool!
The silver-spoon, no-talent fool from wolfboro has NO support left and it's EARLY! LOL, get a grip and realize tat this fool is NOT a congressman-he's a trust-fund dope from the lakes region. No more.
