Today, at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C001135 08/29/2012 JAY NIXON FOR MISSOURI Missouri DRIVE Fund 1850 E. Division Street Springfield MO 65803 8/27/2012 $40,000.00

Previously: Campaign Finance: Dave Spence (r) writes his campaign another monster check (August 19, 2012)

I dunno, a $750,000.00 check does tend to make a $470,000.00 check look small.

As if there’s gonna be any more television commercial time to purchase?

Campaign Finance: someone other than Dave Spence (r) contributes big bucks to Dave Spence (r)

Dave Spence (r), the republican candidate for governor, at the Missouri State Fair Governor’s Ham Breakfast in Sedalia on Thursday morning.

Little did we know at the time, he was probably in the process of making another mega contribution to his campaign.

Today, at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C111205 08/19/2012 SPENCE FOR GOVERNOR David Spence 2021 S. Warson Rd. St Louis MO 63124 Self Businessman 8/17/2012 $750,000.00

[emphasis added]

Add money, water and stir. Poof! Instant statewide campaign.

Seriously? No, really, why bother?

They’ll always have all the money they need. What to spend it on? I vote for another bus:

Dave Spence (r): nothing exceeds like excess (June 16, 2012)

Uh, Dave, what’s your party affiliation? We couldn’t spot it on your campaign land yacht.

2012, campaign finance, Dave Spence, governor, Jay Nixon, missouri, Missouri Ethics Commission

The summaries, from the Missouri Ethics Commission, starting with Governor Jay Nixon:

C001135: Jay Nixon For Missouri

Information Reported On: 2012 – July Quarterly Report

Beginning Money on Hand $6,130,704.05

Monetary Receipts + $2,092,348.19

Monetary Expenditures – $556,657.75

Contributions Made – $63,350.00

Other Disbursements – $0.00

Subtotal     $1,472,340.44

Ending Money On Hand   $7,603,044.49

[emphasis added]

Hudson: That’s it man, game over man, game over!….

Dave Spence, a republican challenger with really deep pockets and a lot of television commercials:

C111205: Spence For Governor

Information Reported On: 2012 – July Quarterly Report

Beginning Money on Hand $1,744,137.88

Monetary Receipts + $1,000,819.41

Other Disbursements – $18,772.23

Subtotal     ($572,599.56)

Ending Money On Hand   $1,171,538.32

[emphasis added]

Hicks:  Outstanding. Now all we need is a deck of cards.

And another republican candidate:

Why, raising that amount in a quarter would make you a republican U.S. Senate candidate in Missouri.

Newt: We gotta get inside. It’s gonna be dark soon, and they mostly hunt at night. Mostly.

And still another republican candidate:

C101387: Missourians For Randles
