Sarah – and Nathalie – as I noted above you might want to do some math. If you take out Elliott's 10K+ people, she still raised the same amount as Hudak, from the same number of people, meaning they both have equal fundraising support from the broad base. Elliott just has more high end support which is also important.

Actually if you take out Elliott's 10K+ AND Hudak's 10K+ then Elliott leads Hudak in number of donors and total donations.

To Jack Redpath –

“I just got a call from someone who told me that memberships were due (in hard copy) at the party offices in downtown Toronto last night – Tuesday. Tim Hudak’s campaign did not not submit their memberships. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that they don’t have the 14,000 they claimed, or perhaps the rules don’t apply to Hudak’s campaign when the party has fixed the process for him.”

That sure sounds a bit dodgy to me! I would like to find out more about that one! Please keep us posted! What happens to those memberships?

Mark you should take a closer look at the numbers posted above. When you take out the big donations, Elliott still has a small edge on Hudak in total raised, and in the number of donors. It looks to me like she matches Hudak's grassroots donations and then adds the big donors on top. Nothing wrong with that!

Mark Dawkins: “But, I guess when your husband is Finance Minister….”

Just what are you saying Mark? I just want to be clear.

Regardless of who the donatins are from or the size, that is a lot of money from people in a have not province. Guess the recession isn't as deep as they say.

It looks like Elliot got the lions share of $10,000+ donations. Probably because of her flat tax.
