How Important Is Online Fundraising?
A press release by Democratic gubernatorial candidate and state Senator Roy Herron today made an interesting claim: "HERRON ON-LINE FUNDRAISING 4TH HOTTEST IN NATION."
First of all, I didn't know there was a national contest on, nor that this type of thing was measured in "hotness." Secondly, the numbers quoted in the release seem rather low when compared to the totals filed by Republican candidates last week. I haven't seen the Democratic candidates' numbers; has anyone else?
Lastly, about Internet campaign contributions: how'd that work out for 2008 presidential candidate Ron Paul?
Then again, the successful Obama campaign made it work for them, in significant part. (They had plenty of traditional paper checks to go with, I'm certain.)
What is your view regarding online fundraising?
