Dewhurst Campaign Owes Vendors Nearly $1 Million
It’s been more than a year since Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst lost his bid to become a U.S. senator, but his campaign still owes consultants and vendors nearly $1 million, Federal Election Commission records show.
In a July filing, the Dewhurst For Texas federal campaign committee disclosed various “debts and obligations” owed to consultants and other service providers, including top Republican consultants Dave Carney, Mike Baselice and Jim Bognet.
The unpaid bills range from several six-figure debts to media experts to a few hundred dollars owed to a company that provided email services. The total tab: $909,875.90, records indicate.
Many of the vendors are upset about getting stiffed for thousands of dollars from the campaign of a multi-millionaire candidate like Dewhurst, who hasn’t hesitated to pour some of his vast wealthy into his political endeavors.

[font color=green]As frequently as I hear comments about how liberals are lazy socialists (and it may be true particularly if they are unemployed or underemployed), why am I not surprised to read that an actual deadbeat is a Republican with a net worth greater than $200 million? 
Pay your damn bills Dewhurst![/font]

With the gaffe of his last campaign and how he dropped the ball in the special session with the Wendy Davis' filibuster, Dewhurst doesn't appear to be the sharpest tool in the shed.
