If Halfacre had money who would he give it to?

Tom Fitzsimmons, the campaign manager for GOP congressional candidate Michael Halfacre, is questioning why primary rival Scott Sipprelle, a millionaire venture capitalist who is promising to self-fund his bid to unseat U.S. Rep. Rush Holt, contributed to five Democratic congressional candidates last June. But according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, Sipprelle has contributed about $100,000 to federal campaigns in recent years, with 95% of those funds going to Republicans.

“Last June was the height of the battle for Congressional Republicans,” said Fitzsimmons. “The Democrats had rammed through the stimulus, cap and trade was being debated, government-run health care was on the table- and in the middle of all that, Scott Sipprelle made donations to not one, not two, but five separate Democrats.”

Oh boy. I guess it would have been better if Sipprelle made five separate donations to one Democratic candidate.
