GOP Senate Primaries
Here is a rundown of the cash on hand for all the declared and possible GOP Senate primary races.
Declared challenges:
Walter Stosch: no report yet (had $266,281 at 6/30/06)
Joe Blackburn: $57,366
Brandon Bell: $65,879
Ralph Smith: no report
John Watkins: $156,271
David Johnson: no report
Possible Challenges:
John Chichester: $336,675
Ken Stolle: $233,585
Emmett Hanger: $40,840
Fred Quayle: $57,548
Tommy Norment: $218,821
With these numbers, it could push some people away from challenging Chichester, Stolle and Norment due to their huge warchests. Conversely, Hanger and Quayle could draw one due to their relatively small warchests; which could be matched by a potential candidate quickly.
I will keep you up to date on any new developments in this arena.

The problem isn't the money. The problem is finding good people who want to run for public office.
It means 24/7 work in the election. Public disclosure of personal finances. And incumbents are going to attack you personally and viciously.
Still we need Conservative candidates to run for Republican seats.

I don't think any Democrat will run against Norment or Chichester, and doubt any Republican could beat them in a primary.

Anon: A Conservative can beat Norment or Chichester. Gotta have a nametag to do it.

I am interested in running against Fred Quayle in the Republican primary. Is there interest out there?
