Gay Activist George Gollin Trounced In Primary

[Herbert Spencer]

Gollin spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and got only 5500 more votes than he would have gotten for nothing.

George Gollin's local fish wrap, the News-Gayzette, has branded George Gollin a "least cost-efficient loser."

The two least cost-efficient losers -- a real double whammy -- were 13th District Democrat George Gollin of Champaign ($50.05 for each of his 9,908 votes) and Democratic Illinois House candidate Sam Rosenberg of Champaign ($51.55 for each of the 2,511 votes he received).

Yup, you did the math correctly. George Gollin pissed away almost half a million dollars on his futile quest for self-aggrandizement.

In fact, Gollin's most recent Federal Election Commission report confirms that he blew a total of $495,868. What a sickening waste of scarce resources. Can you imagine how many lives Dr. Dolphin could have saved with that kind of money?
