Who says lightning doesn’t strike twice?
According to his campaign report filed on February 28, Craig Carter received the following contributions on February 9:
- Ropen Nalbandian $250
- John Pastore $250
- Mitch Glaeser $100
- John Martin $50
- Laurie Newsom $50
- JoAnn Whitworth $50
Also, according to her campaign report filed on February 28, Annie Orlando received the following contributions on February 9:
- Ropen Nalbandian $250
- John Pastore $250
- Mitch Glaeser $100
- John Martin $50
- Laurie Newsom $50
- JoAnn Whitworth $50
- Betsy Whitaker $35 (in-kind, for snacks and beverages)
So, I’m thinking, maybe somebody had a little private fund-raiser and said, “OK, folks, let’s get out our checkbooks.” If that’s the case, it amounts to more than a 4,000% return on investment, which means Betsy is the financial genius that a lot of people have long suspected.
Or as Carter and Orlando might say, “Thank heaven for coincidence!“
