WMD: Weldon's Minimal Donations

In an historic first, Joe Sestak, the Democratic challenger for the 7th Congressional District, blew away Weldon in fundrasing this quarter.
From Today's Philly Inquirer:
The retired Navy admiral, a political novice, took in $700,000 in the quarter that ended June 30, his campaign staff said yesterday.

By contrast, Weldon raised $400,000, said the Republican's campaign manager, Michael V. Puppio Jr.

Instead of planning a trip to Iraq to search for imaginary WMDs, Weldon should have planned a trip to the reality that the 7th District is tired of having a Bush cheerleader mis-representing them in Congress.

What's Weldon going to do for fund raising this quarter? Considering how blind he has been to the needs of the 7th District, I suspect a pair of dark glasses, a tin cup, and a handful of pencils might be appropriate.

My advice is that Curt should spend the rest of the campaign planning for his retirement.
