In other Fair news, McHenry County Democrats are up to $200.76 in their Penny Presidential Poll fund raiser.
(I can’t wait to see how this is reported to the Illinois State Board of Elections. I hope it will use the words “Penny Poll,” rather than “Mass collection.”)
Still in the lead is Bill Richardson, now with 7,556 votes
In second place is Barack Obama with 6,798.
Hillary Clinton ranks third with 2,990.
The minor candidates have the following:
Biden- 870
Edwards- 761
Gravel- 546 + one Chucky Cheese token
Kucinich- 357
Dodd- 196
I wonder if the Republicans will even send McHenry County Blog a press release.
Local Dems don’t rely on the Penny Poll as fundraising. It is a lot of fun and has been getting great exposure, but at the end of the Fair I doubt the collection will cover the costs of booth. The big, unreported, story in fundraising is that last year—an election year—the McHenry County Democratic Party raised more money that LeFew’s Republican and are on a pace to do so again this year. A bit of evidence of the winds of change blowing through the county.
