It turns out that the fundraising avalanche for Rep. Joe Wilson’s (R-SC) Democratic opponent Rob Miller, in the wake of Wilson’s “You lie!” outburst during President Obama’s speech, also cuts the other way, too.
Wilson has now taken in more than $200,000 since the outburst, during which time he has hit the radio and TV talk show circuit and launched his own fundraising effort.
It’s not as much as Miller’s $750,000 from outraged liberals, but it’s not chump change, either. And seeing as how the right was a bit slower to mobilize in fundraising over this, in comparison to the immediate flood of donations to Miller from liberals, this could shape up as a real race for money.
