Fundraising Goals

Wow. The Politico is reporting that FDT will report $3 million raised in June. Apparently this is indicative of a major flop.

Let's put this in context and do a reality check. Here is a link to the second quarter numbers for the entire campaign. Understand that these are 3 month numbers. But even comparing Fred's 26 days worth of fund raising to the entire field's 3 month numbers, Fred came in 8th. If you prorate his numbers as one month number to a 3 month rate, he would have been sixth. And he is not in the race. My guess is that from the various fund raising events he has been going to this month, his July numbers will be significantly better.

The numbers that we don't know is how he is spending his money, but I bet it isn't going out like McCain's.

I find the opposition to FDT just an amazing phenomenon. Either he is too conservative, too liberal, hiding his contributions or not getting enough.

There is a good article at Elephant Biz that discusses the situation and puts it in very good context.

Courage, Fred Heads, Courage.
