The Republican National Committee ended the 2012 presidential cycle in the black, the party announced Thursday.
The committee ended the year with $4.7 million in cash on hand, and raised $378 million over the last two years.
That’s a stark contrast to how the party began the presidential cycle, when it was saddled with $24 million in debt. The debt was mostly accrued under the leadership of former party chairman Michael Steele. The committee has now paid off that debt and is running a surplus — putting the party in a solid financial situation going into the 2014 midterms.
Combined with Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, the party raised $632 million in 2012.
Here’s an idea, why not start spending some of that on a Get Out The Vote effort that will actually work in 2014?
Better idea on 4.7 million:
All out in your face public assault ( Alinsky Gangnam Style) on the chief attackers— Stephanoupols, Gregory, Lauer, Williams, Rose.
Unless we send a clear message to the “media” that we will not accept another 3 billion dollar Conservative bashing gift for 2014 or 2016.
Too many—– way too many—- Low Info Voters still get their news from these guys and believe it. They don’t bother to corroborate or see anything else. We need to tell them the fix is in and they are being spoon fed manufactured news……Dem/Lib=Good. Repub=Bad.
Either that or get used to saying President Hillary Clinton………or WORSE….President Michelle Obama.
60% of viewers don’t trust media…..but still watch. Lets ratchet that up to 80%. That should do the trick.
