Justin's Political Corner

On the Democrats’ list of top targets in the 2012 election, Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan is number two. Congressman Paul Ryan, on the other hand, doesn’t even make the list — even though recent polling has his Democratic opponent, Rob Zerban, almost within striking distance of Ryan. But Zerban’s FEC filings show that, of the $1.2 million in contributions he’d received as of July 2012, only $10 in in-kind email services came from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). Zerban told Raw Story that he’s not sweating it. “It’s not money that’s going to win the race,” he said in an interview. “It’s the constituents that get to decide this race, not the monied special interests that line Ryan’s campaign’s coffers.”
