Lloyd Snook checks out the latest fundraising reports in the Brennan/Abbitt race and finds that Connie Brennan continues to outraise and outspend Abbitt handily, $283k to $210k. And Abbitt’s had to loan his campaign $50k of his own money to pull that off.
Those who pay themselves back a loan that they gave their campaign (in order to elevate weak fundraising totals) are usually not feeling very confident.
Watkins Abbitt is a man without a party. No Republican has said in public that they support him. They do support him at private meetings, fundraisers and when it comes time for some good ol’ dump legislation. (HB 2129 2005)

Brennan needs to get with the program with her signs. I took a drive through Nelson County a few weeks ago and along my whole route down Rt. 29 all of her large signs were these rinky-dink, hand-stenciled things that looked pathetic compared to Abbitt’s large, professionally-printed signs.
It made her look comparatively unprofessional, which is not the reality.

I was down in Nelson on 10/6 and didn’t notice that the Brennan signs were any less professional than the Abbitt ones. Could be they’ve replaced the crop you saw.
