Tomorrow’s AJC is already coming out in some grocery stores. Anybody seen the story on Oxendine? I’ve gotten emails on it, but haven’t seen it yet.

It’s bad news. The allegation is that one of his supporters, an insurance company executive, tried to circumvent state campaign finance laws by funneling $120,000 through 10 different PACs. The Ox folks are saying the PACs don’t have anything to do with each other and he has no idea who contributes to the PACs, but all 10 are registered at the same Birmingham address with the same dude as the Chairman.

What? Ox take money from those associated with the one’s he’s suppose to be regulating… Never.

Lobbyist often pay in cash… and it’s almost as good as money… AFLAC

The post-campaign indictments are going to be really, really fun to watch

I eagerly await AJC’s expose of the Barnes campaign finances.

Dan,

Read the freaking article. In case you cannot read, when a contributor hides contributions by going through multiple sources, it is extremely difficult for the recipient of those contributions to know that that is happening.

“I eagerly await AJC’s expose of the Barnes campaign finances.”

Barnes set up a campaign?

They can start with 2002, then 2010, and tie the usual out of state suspects to both campaigns. I’m holding my breath not.

(sarcasm) It is entirely logical for a contributor to anonymously flood a campaign with money and not tell the candidate. A guy who contributes $120,000 probably doesn’t want any kind of influence or return favor. I understand Oxendine’s frustration that this bastard anonymous contributor is literally hounding his campaign to give him cash, and despite Ox’s best efforts to turn him down, this bastard contributor came up with this genius strategy the campaign money against Ox’s wishes. (/sarcasm)

Well blow me down…. Must be the damn lies Smiling John boy is talking about.

Don’t ask and certainly don’t tell.

Harry May 10, 2009 at 5:03 pm

There’s certainly plenty of that to go around.
