McHenry Loans Campaign $175,000
WASHINGTON — Rep. Patrick McHenry loaned $175,000 of his personal funds to his congressional campaign, a sign that the North Carolina Republican hasn’t raised as much money as he thinks he needs to win re-election.
“It’s nothing more than a sign that he’s willing to make a personal investment in his fight for good jobs and lower gas prices for North Carolina,” McHenry spokesman Brock McCleary said.
::cough:: bullshit! ::cough::
What it means is that McHenry is not happy with the current situation in his race. He obviously feels he needs more money to beat Johnson than is what is at his disposal. Johnson has been slowly catching up to McHenry in the polls.
