rssGOP Challenger to Obey Raises $140,000

Sean Duffy, the leading Republican candidate challenging Rep. David Obey (D-Wis.), will report a fundraising total of $140,000, with $120,000 cash on hand, for the third quarter of 2009. I talked with the candidate today, keying off NRCC Chairman and Rep. Pete Sessions’s (R-Texas) prediction that Obey — who is seeking a 21st term in 2010 — would face a “tier one” challenge.
“I’ve got more $5 and $10 checks than you can shake a stick at,” said Duffy.
In 2008, Obey raised $1.6 million and handily defeated GOP candidate Dan Mielke, who raised only $92,501. The news that Duffy has already out-paced the party’s last Obey challenger is going to keep this race in the party’s sights — if a backlash to the economic stimulus package could strike anyone, it would be the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.

Duffy is not the “leading republican candidate” by any measure. Sean has raised less then half of Dan Mielke. Also, when Dan and Sean speak at the same event, Dan gets a far better audience response. Dan spends time with the people at the events he attends, and Sean ignores them, seeking Washington's attention. The comming back lash is against politicians in general and not just Dems, and Sean is just another politician.

Go Sean Duffy!
He is doing a great job….working hard to take out
the Giant Big Spender of Spenders, Dave Obey!!
Dan Mielke, who also has good conservative ideas,
is going to have to get a shave and try to spiff up
his image if he is going to compete for votes
in this century. Both candidates should work
hard to defeat Obey….not at attacking each other!
Obey, the author of the Spendulous Bill, needs to be
voted out!
