Jackpot!

The Vote Yes on 2 folks spent $552,028.97 in 14 days. That works out to $39,430 dollars and 67 cents --A DAY. The report had one contribution, from Olympia Gaming and they spent their money on consultants, and it looks as though they dropped a little cash at every radio, TV and daily newspaper in the state.

The duo of Bailey and Potholm are most likely able to craft a winning message, but when your opponents are prepared to spend $39 thousand dollars a day, and you have a month left, it is going to take more than a winning message.
