“The Hill,” an inside dopester publication out of the nation’s Capital, reports Congressman Joe Wash has $361,000 in debt, including preparations for the re-count that never came.

Here’s the text about Walsh:

“Freshman Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.), who upset Democrat Melissa Bean in one of the closest races in the country last year, reported $361,000 in debt, tens of thousands of it incurred in legal fees while preparing for a potential recount, according to his year-end FEC filing.

“Walsh is one of 19 House Republicans the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has already gone after with radio ads, and the conservative group American Crossroads has already defended him with radio ads of its own.”
