“Bob Barr has the ‘Bob Barr Leadship Fund’ PAC, which files reports with the FEC. If you want to know how Bob Barr actually spends donor money, that’s a great place to start. His PAC raises between $235,000 and $305,000 per quarter. He only spends 10%, 5%, or 1% of that amount on financially supporting candidates. Over 90% has been spent on operating expenses for every quarter since January 2007. On average, he has spent less than 5% of his PAC’s operating expenses on supporting candidates. If Barr spends the same way on his campaign as he does on his PAC, for every dollar he raises, you’ll see a dime, a nickel, or a penny of real politics.” (05/12/08)
