Question of the day
Monday, Apr 23, 2012 - Posted by Rich Miller * From the SJ-R…
Even so, the county Republicans did pretty well with their fundraising last quarter. Not so much for the Sangamon County Dems…
* And WBEZ recently pointed out that the Cook County Republican Party had just $538.86 in the bank at the end of the quarter. * The Question: What would a joint Sangamon Democratic/Cook Republican fundraiser look like? Snark is heavily encouraged, of course.
