It's deadline day for 3rd quarter FEC reports, and the one I was really waiting for was from Charlie Brown.  He didn't disappoint.

Cash raised in Q3: $212,091
Total cash raised this cycle: $495,830 (wow!)
Cash on hand: $382,767

Media's not cheap in that district, but certainly nowhere near as expensive as in many other parts of the state.  So this is an even bigger haul, comparatively.

How much did John Doolittle take in, you ask?  This is embarrassing.

Cash raised in Q3: $50,308
Total cash raised this cycle: $296,332
Cash on hand: $37,995

That's LESS than Eric Egland, one of his primary opponents, raised.  AND, 15% of that goes to Doolittle's wife, right?

Things are looking good in the Sierras...

We had a great time at the Q3 Quarterly, up in SF. Mark Leno stuck around for quite awhile, as did AD-15 candidate Steve Filson. We sort of took over much of the bar for the evening, but Nickie's was a pretty rockin' place for such an event. It's no Zeitgeist, but, well, it's no Zeitgeist.  On a warm evening like yesterday, I'm sure it would have been crrrraaazy.

A few more pics over the flip. Flickr set here.

IMHO, anyway. Next Wednesday, Sep. 26, we will be having our Calitics Quarterlies in San Francisco and Los Angeles (area).  This time, all three of our events will be promoted with Drinking Liberally, so lots of good times.  Here are the details for the SF event, and I'll let Dave add all his announcements. Both events will have some cool special guests.

What: SF Calitics Q3 Quarterly with Special Guest, Assemblyman Mark Leno.
When: 9/26, 7:30-9:45ish
Where: Nickie's on Haight Street (map here)
How much: Whatever you can afford, Suggested Donation $10-20 at our ActBlue page
Why: Why not? It will be tons o' fun.

Just a quick item here. We'll be doing the Q3 Calitics Quarterlies on Sept. 19. Locations and times to be announced.  Prices will be the same as last time, whatever you can afford. And, of course, you can always give to the ActBlue Page.
