In the 8th CD where an underdog favorite pulled out a surprise GOP primary upset for businessman Joe Walsh, Walsh's not been able to raise more funds than he's spent in the second quarter, FEC filings show today.
Walsh, who raised a little over $100,000 in the second quarter, spent $114,000, leaving him with $30, 292 on hand. With $88,000 in outstanding debts, the campaign committee as of this week's reports, stands nearly $50,000 in the red, not boding well -- at this point -- for Walsh to run a viable campaign against Democrat incumbent Melissa Bean.
