How many people in his entourage are on the federal payroll do you think? (not particularly for publication) Yours from the backseat, '67 Dear William,

Senator DeMint is traveling the state to support his presidential candidate of choice right now. How many people in his entourage are on the federal payroll do you think?

This is no big deal. Fitsnews failed to mention that all but $5,000 worth of the contributions could be "redesignated" to make them fall back into alignment of campaign finance laws. The remaining $5,000 was refunded to the donor. Read the actual audit and you'll find its nothing more than miscatorization of some contributions. Not a big deal considering the complexities of campaing finance law, the fast pace of a campaign going from primary to runoff, and the fact we're talking about a campaign that raised and spent over $9 million. Just like any government audit, they're going to find something to report to justify their existance. Fits is right about the state fiance sitiuation. It should be much easier to see who is contributing to our state legislators. Wow, Harden….that would be a biting commment from a third grader.

Zing! If DeMint can’t handle the budgeting at his own campaign, how can we expect him to do so in Congress?
