Actually, the 2008 campaign was on a different time schedule. The 2012 democratic primary was moved up 5 months from September in 2008 to April in 2012. Evans is pulling in just as much from developers and businesses that are reliant on favorable treatment from the city (or afraid of retribution) as always.

The analysis took that into consideration. Basically, Evans has raised significantly less when 5 months away from the primary this year than he did in 2008.

In fact, Evans has only raised 16% of his money from constituents, whereas he had raised 35% of his money from constituents 5 months away from the 2008 primary election. In this campaign, the amount he raised from developer Richard Cohen and from Clyde's Restaurant represents over 25% of all the money he has received from constituents.
