Whitney Campaign Cash Strapped

Green Party gubernatorial candidate Rich Whitney sent out this email/note to his supporters yesterday, basically saying his campaign is broke, lamenting that Scott Lee Cohen can:

"inundate the airwaves with his radio ads, and coat the streets with his yard signs, whe he has absolutely nothing of substance to say -- while I have plenty of substance to say, and yet am struggling to get my message OUT to where people can HEAR it, or see it."

Whitney aslo put some of the blame on his supporters saying:

Thus far, supporters have not followed through on such basic fundraising efforts as expected. I can't do it all, and you can't wait for the "campaign" to do it all. The campaign is US, collectively. I need people to step up to the plate and take some initiative.

As the Capitol Fax points out, 7 weeks before the election is not the time to deal with budget (or lack of budget) problems.
