| So far the information about fundraising is lopsided, as only Larry Joe Doherty has released his fundraising numbers for the last quarter of 2007. Larry Joe Doherty Dan Grant 2nd/3rd Quarter $125,000 $105,000 4Th Quarter $150,000 ??? The campaign is a candidate’s mechanism to deliver his message. A campaign requires structure, organization and money. Because TX-10 is composed of two media markets, it will take about $1.5 million for a democratic candidate to fund a competitive campaign. Mike McCaul is a two term incumbent who if needed can spend two to three times that amount. So money matters because it is necessary to fund a viable campaign to get a Democrat elected to TX-10. Larry Joe Doherty has a viable campaign that will be competitive in November. His campaign's fourth quarter fundraising numbers were more than the second and third quarters combined showing the momentum growing in Larry Joe Doherty's campaign. Until Dan Grant’s campaign releases their 4th quarter numbers, the jury is still out on the viability of his campaign |
