Republican National Committee spent $900K of $5.5M on an insurance payment: campaign reports

Source: NY Daily News/AP

The Republican National Committee's $5.5 million in July receipts includes a $900,000 insurance payment, helping boost anemic fundraising by the national party.

Federal campaign reports show that Democratic Party committees maintained a cash on hand advantage over their Republican counterparts as they entered the final three months before the election.

The Republican Party's insurance payment was from Illinois National Insurance, a subsidiary of insurance giant American International Group. A party official said the money was for an insurance claim but said there was a confidentiality provision in the agreement. The official was not authorized to discuss the claim publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The official said the payment was not related to AIG's financial troubles, which required a massive federal bailout.

3. So they would have had only 4.6 million without the insurance payment?

8. It was on Ted Stevens

their new revenue stream is taking out life insurance policies and waiting for "accidents". They know all about how "accidents" happen. Poor Ted had to take one for the team.

9. I wonder who would sell a life insurance policy on a 86 year old

who flies in small planes around Alaska. I wouldn't think they would be in business very long.
