Mark Cuban and Orrin Hatch

Months and months ago, Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks of the NBA, stated that he would help anyone willing to run against Orrin Hatch.

As of a few weeks ago, Pete Ashdown had not recieved a dime of Cuban's promise.

In fact, the total contributions by Mr Cuban of at least $200, courtesy NewsMeat:

LOFGREN, ZOE (D)
House (CA 16)
$1,000
10/21/02

CAMPAIGN FOR AMERICAS FUTURE
$5,000
10/30/96

And the kicker:

HATCH, ORRIN G (R)

Mr Cuban, you owe Pete at least $1,000.
