Well, this just proves the wisdom of Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT) decision to keep almost $300,000 in his campaign coffers.

Burns paid approximately $12,000 more to Powell Goldstein in early November, according to Burns’ last FEC report, meaning that since he hired Ralph Caccia of that firm in April, Burns’ campaign has doled out more than $103,500. And you can bet that number will continue to climb.
