With “recently” being Aug. 5 through Sept. 1? As the Charlotte Observer reports, that would be Dan Clodfelter at nearly $50,000 and Edwin Peacock at $46,000, followed by David Howard at nearly $37,000, and then Jennifer Roberts at just under $32,000. Scott Stone raised $13,000 while Michael Barnes continues to get only a minimal amount of contributions ($3,700).
Analysis: Roberts’ strategy of portraying herself as the front runner, and thus the one to whom donations should go, obviously hasn’t been entirely effective. On the Republican side, Peacock seems to thinks he’s got the nomination in the bag, as he’s now holding a very large amount of cash ($157,000).
