WA-08 Reichert fundraising numbers WRONG


The newspapers reported that Washington Congressman Dave Reichert (R) had raised more campaign dollars than challenger Darcy Burner (D), but thanks to some careful reading and number-crunching by blogger Dan Kirkdorffer we now know that's not true.


At first Reicherts campaign did some stonewalling and explaining away but today they admitted their numbers were wrong.


Even with a, traffic snarling, elite-fundraiser headlined by Pres. Bush, Reichert raised less than Darcy Burner's citizen-powered campaign.

UPDATE: Dan Kirkdorffer left a comment pointing out I had misspelled (Kickdorffer) his name. Sorry 'bout that Dan (it's fixed now), I guess I was thinking about how your researching kick's ass.
