Democracy for America will endorse Matt Cartwright

A "very close source" to the Cartwright campaign told me yesterday that the progressive group DFA will be backing Matt in the 17th Congressional District Democratic primary.


.


Actually the source was Matt Cartwright himself and I'm just making fun of this National Journal story but that has changed in the last few hours. So now the NJ and others have reported that Cartwright has raised around $600K. "we'd be at $600,000" for the quarter, said Cartwright campaign manager Shane Seaver. I'm not sure what this secrecy about fundraising numbers is about. Like it is a surprise that Matt Cartwright could raise a ton of money

DFA recently ran a contest that Allan Grayson was the top getter.

Congrats to Matt! I really have a lot of hope for NEPA. Matt will be a great Congressman for us!

How much of that $600,000 was raised, and how much came fron the candidate or his family.

^Why don't you ask how much money Holden has gotten from the oil and gas industry or the health care insurance companies. I bet you they bought his vote for the bush cheney energy act of 05 and his vote against health care.

What are you going to say about Cartwright when you find out he lied about raising $600,000. I don't think we'll have to wait to the first campaign report, he's back tracking now. Said you misquoted him.
