| Campaign Finance Return to index of stories... |
When we look at campaign finance term hard and soft money used.quick understanding of what each is? Are there limits to individual and political action committee spending? Let's look at what money has been raised and ready to be spent in NH races. the Senate Race - It's a race being watched nationally it will determine control of the Senate Shaheen outraised Sununu in the primary by an almost two to 1 margin. She spent a lot of money although unopposed. And close to the end of August, Shaheen had more than three times the money on hand than Sununu. Now that we know who's running on the Republican ticket anticipate huge influx of money for Sununu? And with so much hanging in the balance will the Democrats be pumping additional money into the Shaheen campaign? Who's giving the money, Mark? Try to find out how easy or difficult is it? Editorial in the Keene Sentinel said it's cheaper to buy a Senator in a small state - will that mean even more money? In the second congressional race between Katrina Swett and incumbent Charlie Bass money flowing from out of state has been made an issue. Keene Sentinel sitesd campaign of Rudman vs. Durkin where that tactic worked.However in dem primary when John Rauh ran against Dick Swett, Rauh talked about campaign finacne reform and limited his own contributions.Swett who got outside money won. So is this an issue anymore? In the first congresional district Martha Fuller Clark raised more than three times what Jeb Bradley raised.Bradley up against 7 other candidates may be part of the reason money spread around Will he catch up? Huge difference in amount Bradley had on hand vs. Clark 24 thousand vs. over 400 thousand Governor's Race What they raised? Millions spent for the Benson campaign set a new record.When you look at what Fernald spent the gap is almost unbelieveable. Cash on hand amounts not too different however it would seem that Benson will have no trouble coming up with more money? Does outside money come into a gubernatorial race? Does money Benson has spent have a negative impact in any way? What about the millionaire candidate issue under new campaign finance reform law.If a person runs against a millionaire dumping his or her own money into a campaign the opponent gets funds? Not in effect until after this election Do people in NH give money or volunteer? What kind of ads will work Does Dole's appearance help Bush and Gore coming political committees representing two major political parties 412 million in federal during first 18 months of election cycle.National party committees reported 308 million in nonfederal receipts from 1/01 - 6/02 Spending totaled 317.7 million in federal funds 213 in nonfederal funds 12 percent increase for federal funds 21 percent increase in nonfederal when compared to similar time period in 2000. More significant because this is not a presidential campaign cycle National party committes - senate campaign committees largest increase hard and soft money more soft money National Repub Cong Committee and Dem Cong Campaign Committee raised less soft money |
| Repub. Convention Return to index of stories... |
It was a room full of Republicans last Saturday at St Anselm College. The Carr Athletic Center was the site of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee Convention. Candidates for Senate, the Governor, and the first and second congressional districts took time to thank the crowd and deliver campaign messages. Former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole attended the event as the "keynote" speaker. We had a chance to ask him about Senator Bob Smith's primary loss to John E. Sununu. |
