Still dodging the bullet, I see, DV. :)
I would imagine there were a great many Democrats who also phoned their Senatesitters during the recent Amnesty siege, so, unfortunately, I don’t think that was any indication of Republican strength, but, still encouragingly, an indication of some good old American spirit.
I hate to see you give up, too, Krankor. The Republican Party went far to the left of me way back before GHWB’s day, but I am still with it. Because the party deserted it’s platform, I no longer contribute to the RNC, preferring to donate directly to my candidates.
In case you missed it in another thread, here is the last paragraph of an article which appeared in the Washington Times on July 16, which is in line with the subject matter here tonight.
“Pundits: Thompson top dog — for now”, by Ralph Z. Hallow
“Thompson’s vulnerability to changes of campaign-finance hypocrisy was highlighted over the weekend, when ABC News ran an online “analysis” accusing the Republican of taking advantage of “loopholes” in federal law to avoid reporting his fundraising amounts, as other candidates were required to do by midnight Sunday.”
And in that other thread, 2ndDivisionVet stated that Fred had raised $5 million even before announcing his candidacy.
I have been asking DV where he came across that information with no reply. This thread says this will be his FIRST fund raiser.
Paperdoll:
Please re-read the article. His first fundraiser in ALABAMA!! And the $5 million was from an article I read about a week ago, and I’m afraid I don’t have the time to find it again. You might do a Drudge or Google search.
