The third quarter filings for each of the CD22 candidates are available on-line from the FEC. Here's how they broke out (through the end of Sept):
Nick Lampson $325K -- a complete waste of money for the dems as he's as sure to go down as a cheap hooker in 2008. A LOT of out-of- district and Union PAC $$. Two of our favorites: (Charlie) Rangel for Congress (figures, he likes to give other people's money away, not his own); AFL-CIO Cope Political Contributions Committee (is that coping with waning influence?).
Shelley Sekula Gibbs - $174K from 163 donors, most from the Houston and Clear Lake areas.
Pete Olson - $113K from 124 donors plus $50K loan from himself. Less than 10% of his money came from in-district. Most of it came from D.C. or near D.C. addresses. Not surprising since he just moved here 3 months ago. Does make you wonder, though, who he'd be representing if he won..
Dean Hrbacek - $59K from 108 donors, plus $50K loan from himself. Looks like almost all from in-district.
Bob Talton - $35K from 20 donors-- rumors are he may drop out to run for a state Senate seat ...
Jim Squier - $13K from 17 donors -- all attorney's.
Steinberg and Rowley didn't bother to file reports -- probably not much to report.
Also couldn't find a report for Manlove.

Yep, I have turned down some donations and have told others to wait. I just recently installed the capability to accept campaign donations. I wanted to make sure I unstood the current laws before accepting. I will turn down any donations that have strings attached.
