Denny Hoskins’ (r-noun, verb, CPA) is indeed getting significantly propped up (we already knew that) by the House Republican Campaign Committee (HRCC). Now we have some of the specific attributable numbers, via the Missouri Ethics Commission:
Detailed Summary of Expenditures And Contributions Made
Committe: HOUSE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE INC
ReportDate: 10/12/2010B. ITEMIZED EXPENDITURES ALL OVER $100 AND ALL PAYMENTS TO CAMPAIGN WORKERS
Victory Enterprises Davenport, IA 09/27/2010 IE Media Buy-Hoskins $10,464.00
Victory Enterprises Davenport, IA 09/27/2010 IE Radio Buy-Hoskins $8,976.38
[emphasis added]
That’s close to $20,000.00 in radio and cable buys saturating a really small media market. And yet, they’re curiously silent about Denny Hoskins (r) not paying $20,317.89 in property taxes on time. It’s ironic – if the latter had been accomplished, there would probably have been no need for the former.
Courtney Cole (D) filed her third quarter campaign finance report with the Missouri Ethics Commission on October 15th:

Denny Hoskins (r) filed his third quarter campaign finance report with the Missouri Ethics Commission on October 15th:

We see this on occasion, a number of republican candidates campaigns reset the “previously reported” clock for the first general election report after the primary. It makes it a little more cumbersome to ascertain the total contributions and expenditures in the election cycle.
We already know that the HRCC has spent close to $20,000.00 on radio and cable on behalf of Denny Hoskins. We also know that the Missouri republican party has spent a considerable amount of money for attack mail on behalf of Denny Hoskins (r), but we don’t know the specific amount yet.
Let’s see where the direct contributions came from in Denny Hoskins’ report:

Isn’t it Jefferson City?
There are a lot of PAC contributions. Denny Hoskins’ campaign doesn’t bother to list small individual donations, chosing to lump them in under a single reporting line. Absent the single $5,000.00 contribution from the CPA PAC one can see why outside republican groups are propping up his campaign.
