Eric Ferguson-Joe Stanley-Yellow Dog-Staff Bedding?

Is the Eric Ferguson campaign broke? It is not looking good. Staff bedding expenditures are at a all time high.

Ferguson, Eric made 2 payments
totaling $574 to Griffin Mattress Center in 2007:

Transaction Date Amount Service 06/20/07 $414 Staff bedding 05/25/07 $160 Staff bedding

Staff Bedding? The Ferguson Campaign is in debt and has been for years.

Ferguson has way less than that on hand. With staff bedding costs surely to rise, what will he do? His involvement with Joey Stanley is documented. In fact, Joey's Yellow Dog Strategy and Eric share a phone and office. I wonder which one of them pays for that? The VSBE reports are not clear on whether Yellow Dog pays anything or if 100% is paid by Ferguson contributors, including the Democratic party. This sounds corrupt to me. One can conclude that Eric Ferguson's campaign and Yellow Dog share a office, phone, and other resources that Joey Stanley's business profits from. Since Stanley is Chairman of the Franklin County Democratic Committee, how is the Democratic Party involved in all of this?

This is a interesting concept. Start a business and house it at a campaign's headquarters. Let campaign contributors and political parties pay your overhead and share each others resources. Link your opponents supporters to NAMBLA, then the candidates can deny involvement. This whole situation stinks. Think about it.
