Classic Friday Night Drop

Charlie Crist

Charlie Crist releases super weak quarterly fundraising numbers: a mere $1.1 million.

That’s compared to $3.6 million by Marco Rubio and $2 million for Crist in the last quarter of 2009. And that was down for Crist from 3rd quarter 2009, when he raised $2.4 million.

The numbers are really bad. But they’re even worse when you consider that being a master fundraiser was always one of Crist’s biggest strengths as a politician.
