However, we are discussing the Ruwart 2008 campaign, which got started at the last minute, and had little money to spend.  Not to mention, of course, that some of the people who recruited Ruwart were once successful in recruiting her not prominent in supporting her, leading to questions as to why they actually recruited her in the first place.

The End-of-2008 Report from the Ruwart campaign shows the campaign had $14,825 in individual contributions, $15,000 in loans from the candidate, $19,095 in operating expenditures, and $1,610 in transfers to other committees.  Expenses included:

March 2008:   $211 for brochures, $245 for stickers, $950 to the National Convention for booth space, $485 to Geoff Neale (campaign Treasurer) as expense reimbursement, $54 for a post office box, $259 for accounting software, $64 to Fry's Electronics for supplies, $1628 to the candidate for reimbursement of personal expenses, and air fares of $447, $334, $208, and $348.
