Oh, noes!

Randy Brock’s money bomb has come up short!

Unless they do some late fiddling with the totals, his attempt to raise $40,000 in the last few days before the first campaign finance deadline has come up short.

As of 5:01 p.m. (well, now it’s 5:02), his “money bomb” graphic was stuck at about $36,000.

And everybody said, “Awwwwwww.”

Actually, I’d be shocked if they didn’t do some post-deadline fiddling and get that total up over 40K because a failure would be so embarrassing. But since you’ve read this, you’ll know that’s what they did. It’s now 5:05, and the money bomb has failed to go off.
