"I know you are, but what am I?"
Mark Graul, Mark Green's campaign manager, seems a little testy lately.
The Badger Herald reports:
Maybe it's not 80%. Is it 60? 70? One thing we know -- more than $500,000 -- depending on who's counting, maybe more than that -- came from federal political action committees (including that pesky $30,000 from Tom DeLay.) None of that's from Wisconsin. With that much non-Wisconsin money to begin with, it wouldn't take much to get well over 50%.
Green himself is guilty of questionable campaign finance practices, [State Dem Party Chair Joe]Wineke alleged.
“Mark Green transferred $1.3 million from his federal account and my guess is 80 percent of that didn’t come from Wisconsin,” he said.
Graul strongly denied the allegation, although he did admit Green has received some out-of-state donations.
“Joe Wineke is a big fat liar,” Graul said in reference to the 80 percent figure. “Joe Wineke is Jim Doyle’s No. 1 attack dog, and they don’t deal in the truth. They only deal in lies because they don’t have anything good to say about the governor.”
No wonder Graul's touchy. Someone will no doubt do the math one of these days, and Green's out-of-state money will dwarf Doyle's.
