That's slightly unfair or at least spun to the point of being largely inaccurate.

That does not look realistic in the slightest. They just lost some credibility.

That does not look realistic in the slightest.Why not? The campaign has food expenses from Jimmy John's and supplies from Wal-Mart.

The single largest expense from Q3 in Iowa was a hotel expense for Hilton Garden Inn which was to host a speech in the grand ballroom. $21,016.81

Total expenses from Q3 in Iowa: $481,635.

Also, $150,000 of expenses are just to Republican Party of Iowa. (This was for the Ames Straw poll most likely.)

Also, if you're curious why Virginia is so high for the campaign.

$1,196,376 is to Saber Communications for advertising, bulk mail, and email services.

My mistake. I thought it was ad buys.

Ok, now it makes a bit more sense. Virginia is big because he's spending money in Virginia on Iowa. I'm sure that's why Texas and DC are high - he's spending money from those places, on Iowa and New Hampshire.. very misleading.

That would be Mike Rothfeld getting his cut.

Are these the people who can't figure out how to stop sending snail mail to people when those people don't want them to waste money sending them paper letters?

That would be Mike Rothfeld getting his cut.And how much return has come from that? Almost 10 times?

Ron bests everyone in Iowa spending except Bachmann and Romney.
