Jim Martin and Rand Knight accumulate debt!

Well Jim Martin has been pressured by this blog (yes I'm taking all credit) into finally disclosing his fundraising and the numbers confirm what I suspected.

A pathetic fundraising period ending with Martin being $144,663.33 in debt!  Martin's donations are also dominated by Atlanta lawyers.  Martin loved to tout himself as the candidate who could bring in the money but this just proves again how lethargic his campaign has become.

But Martin isn't alone: Rand Knight continues to pile on his campaign debt which now totals $66,828!  But really heres the juicy details: Knight has loaned himself over $70,000! 

Martin and Knight's paltry pulls clearly confirm that their "endorsements" (if you can even call them that) don't mean squat!   They continue to run stagnant campaigns that draw little or no support.



Update: Rand Knight now has joined Jim Martin in taking PAC money.  This time $2000 from the Teamsters.  Congrats Rand! on selling your soul!

Only if you're pure as the driven snow like Cardwell will you turn down your friends' cash. With friends like the Teamsters you could do worse.

I'd disagree. Rand has been all about reform this campaign and even if you like the Teamsters (which I most certainly don't), PAC money is PAC money.
