Look at Poole’s pre-election report. He had just repaid himself a $10,000 loan. He had no debt and a positive cash balance.

The report goes into the file, the unlawful donation is made, the next report is in a year and that is the name of that tune.

It was insanity to expect Poole to vote with the Rs. He screwed Windom when it really counted and the stakes were not as high here.

Senate Rs can’t count votes to 18.

oops, Poole doesn’t have to report this until his 2007 annual report–jue on Jan 31 2008.

No kidding. Now we know that Poole’s word is worth $10,000–not to his district, but straight into his own pocket. Poole doesn’t have to report this contribution until Jan 2007, but if he has no campaign debt, I say he should be charged with a violation of the campaign finance laws.

Putting Hank’s column, the contribution, and Poole’s switch together – whew, sure looks like “quid pro quo” to me.
