Preliminary Fundraising Numbers

CBS is reporting that FDT will report "over" $8 million. This is dramatically more than the $5 million that was being floated last week, which is probably indicative of trying to control expectations better than in the second quarter.

But like the second quarter, it needs to be remembered that Fred only announced that he was officially running for President in September. So he only had one month of full candidacy for raising money. I also believe that there is a lot of money sitting on the sidelines waiting for Newt to decide on whether or not he is running.

My hope is that Newt will soon announce support for Fred and much of the money that would have gone to him will start coming into FDT's campaign.
