Campaign manager Martin Avila said Rep. David Price, D-N.C., up for re-election this year, was not ready to run a campaign.
Avila, campaign manager for Republican candidate B.J. Lawson, said Price "was expecting to coast into this [race] just like he has in the races against every Republican candidate in the last 10 years."
He said Lawson has succeeded in inciting Price to campaign hard this year, which he said shows that Lawson has considerable support.
But Price said the hype surrounding Lawson's campaign is publicity, not support.
"Oh, I don't know how much support [Lawson] has," Price said. "What has given his campaign more visibility than most recently is simply that they had a lot of money dumped on it by this out-of-state Ron Paul network, that's the only difference."
You know what else? 50% of Price's campaign money has come from PACs, whereas 88% of Lawson's campaign cash has come from normal individuals (http://www.opensecrets.org/races/summary.php?cycle=2008&id=NC04).
