Reply #35: Step by Step [View All]

In post #21 you quote a blogger who states that at the Kerry began January having spent $27 million. You then clearly post in #25 from your own source, than Kerry has only spent 23.3 million.

In February both the blogger and the Buffalo News clearly state that Kerry raised 4.1 million and spent 7.1 million in January.

That means at the end of January, Kerry had spent 30.8 million while having raised 33 million.

The Buffalo newspaper clearly states this:

The blogger on Kos clearly made a mathemathical error.

Kerry clearly began February 14.2 million below the $45 million promised target.

Please note, that Kerry has only stated how much he will spend on the primaries. Kerry clearly has a big incentive to raise above $45 million if he can, because he has in all probability, a general election to worry about against a well-funded opponent. I personally hope that he can raise $200 million while only spending $45 million on the primaries. Let the other $155 be for the general election.

I do expect that you will eventually admit the original blogger was clearly in error on his calculations.
