Some have asked me why I am pessimistic living in a very RED area. This was in today's paper:
McCrery raised millions, challengers raised little
n Representative also giving money to Republican Party.
WASHINGTON "" Rep. Jim McCrery, who has raised more than $2 million to keep his seat, has given the National Republican Campaign Committee $500,000 to help his GOP colleagues in a tough campaign season.
McCrery, a Republican from Shreveport, is being challenged by Democrats Patti Cox and Artis Cash and fellow Republican Chester Kelley.
But none of McCrery's rivals has raised the $10,000 that would require them to file a campaign finance report with the Federal Election Commission.
