Cheryl Baswell Guthrie has really, really deep pockets
Posted by BrianCheryl Baswell Guthrie’s bid to be the Republican nominee for the open AL-05 seat is taking quite a toll on her bank account. Here’s the tally to date of what she has contributed to her campaign:
- $256,200.00 - Pre-primary (covers up to 5/14)
- $55,000 - 48 hr notice (5/19)
- $33,000 - 48 hr notice (5/25)
- $90,500 - 48 hr notice (5/28)
- $21,687.26 - 48 hr notice (5/29)
Total: $456,387.26
Must be nice to have that kind of spare change laying around.

Wow, I’m sure with that kind of cash she can really relate to the folks out there paying $4 a gallon.
Not to sound the class warfare alarm, but dang that is a heck of alot of money to pour into a primary. Especially since she will probably get her clock cleaned by Parker Griffith.

One of the amazing things is - Parker Griffith poured almost that much of his own into a state senate campaign. All I want to know is how I can get a slice of that pie.
