When things go bad for the GOP, they really go bad, case in point, Dean Andal, candidate for CA CD11 currently held by our very own Jerry McNerney (who beat out Pombo in 2006). Seems that Andal just can't get enough of his fellow Republicans to donate to this campaign, and he raised only $190,000 during the last reporting period.

Andal isn't going to be able to look to the national Republican organizations for money either, as they are not only being out raised by Democrats, they are resorting to lies about the amount of money they raise:

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- This afternoon the National Republican Senatorial Committee announced it raised $13.5 million dollars for tonight's "The 2008 President's Dinner." The $13.5 million is the largest amount raised by the NRSC in five years.

The joint fundraising event for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) and President George W. Bush's final "The President's Dinner" raised $21.5 million dollars total.

Truth from the fundraising reports filed with the feds:

Total Raised in June: $6.04 million

Does it surprise anyone at all the the GOP can't figure out what is going on with their fundraising? Or that they have to resort to lies in order to make a bad situation look better? Sound familiar?

This is just standard operating procedure for the GOP: First they can't raise much money, then they lie about what they do raise. Tsk, tsk, once again caught.
