According to the Globe: Liberals trumpet ‘unbelievable’ campaign fundraising gains
Michael Ignatieff’s Liberals have raised $1-million in the first four days of the federal election campaign – as much as they did in the first three weeks of the 2008 campaign under Stéphane Dion, according to the party president.I think it's completely believable. Harper went out the gate an angry man and seems to be just getting angrier as the campaign continues.
Alfred Apps suggests a combination of daily policy announcements as well as new television ads – which are playing in heavy rotation in Ontario, British Columbia and Manitoba – are contributing to the increase. “It’s wild,” he said. “Unbelievable.”
I think we may have a race.
Harper’s neocon Reforma Tories lie about their fundraising bottom lines
ReplyDeleteA review of the fundraising of the federal parties indicates that, although the Conservatives do well at fundraising, they primarily do better with smaller donations from individuals.
Further, this broad-based approach to fundraising is higher cost.
Their big dollar numbers, while significant, is not as colossal as some observers think once costs are factored in. This situation is reversed for the Liberals.
