Reports: Rick Perry Raised $17,000,000 In 49 Days

Both Hot Air and The Drudge Report are reporting that the Perry campaign will report that it raised a fairly impressive $17 million during the 49 days of the 3rd quarter that the campaign was active.

Ed Morrissey breaks the numbers down:

The pace is even more impressive. Perry had 49 days in which to raise funds, rather than the full 92 days of the quarter, a rate of about $349,000 a day. The final debate in September didn't hurt Perry's fundraising rate, either. In the 42 days prior to the Orlando debate, their rate was $323K per day; in the eight days following the Orlando debate, that escalated to $478K per day. Perry's on-line operation did well, too, drawing in $1.1 million - despite, as my source says, not driving contributions with their on-line ads.

Doesn't matter. Whomever my candidate ends up being they won't have to raise a crap load of money to convince people they are something they are not and that they aren't something that they are.

And they will be able to string together three coherent thoughts.

That’s what I love about you, Clairity. Your hysteria here is so over the top and utterly irrational, there can be no rational response. See ya.

"...sorry to burst your bubble, but with every passing debate Perry is proving himself to be an anti-liberty RINO. He’s now doubling down on stupid with his democrat-like attacks on tea party people regarding our refusal to go along with his support of taxpayer subsidies for illegal aliens. And you’re doubling down on stupid for supporting his obvious lies regarding his attempted governance by decree on the vaccination of 12 year old girls fiasco. You should both walk away from attempting to defend the indefensible. Romney is a mandate-loving statist POS, but Perry isn’t proving out to be much better. A pox on them both."

Cain sees boost in fund raising, Gingrich hopes for momentum

http://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politics-elections/cain-sees-boost-in-1191553.html

“The reports are important as they not only show what candidates can afford toward a long campaign but are also seen as a general sign of support among voters.

Carmichael could not provide exact details yet and it remains unlikely that Cain will be able to out-raise Romney, the campaign’s financial juggernaut. Cain raised $2.1 million in the second quarter, compared to more than $18 million for Romney. As of June 30, Cain reported having only $482,000 in cash on hand.”

Cain is unelectable and donors know that. PERIOD.

Pointing out he facts is your definition of hysteria?

-- The establishment does not want Perry --

There is more than one faction in "the establishment." I think the elite power brokers would be happy with Perry. Typically, they hedge their bets anyway, by donating all over the map to candidates they view as 1) viable and 2) amenable to policies that favor the elites' grip on money and power.

Sorry, but that alone is not going to win this election. We're going up against the ultimate cheating machine & our candidate better be able to blast them out of the water. Lots of people can say the right things - can they raise enough money to stay in it to the end?

PDS Oilman Psycho-Freep openly admitted that this was incoming big oil money.

OK, I went back and re-read and posted the quote and it was 60% of the donors, not 60% of the amount.

That is why I went back to the ‘Hot Air’ thread and got the full quote and posted it. I had read it wrong.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

This is becoming another carbon copy of 2008. I am making financial preparations for another Obama term, as well as a great Depression that will make the one in the ‘30’s seem like a garage sale.

I might also mention, the large, mega, (evil) Oil and Gas company I work for, (bought and paid for) just made a 7 figure commitment to the Perry campaign. Not because he will do what they want him to do, but because he has done things that are good for the industry as a whole and has helped create millions of jobs for American families and Conservatives like myself.

But I'm sure that some of the Populist activists here will define that to be the very opposite of what it actually is.

For the Perry-Bashers this is not a good news day. When the bashers counted Perry down and out, his supporters were more supportive than ever.

It does appear Perry is still the heir apparent to be the Republican nominee.

The NWO, open border, globalists and crony capitalists want to make certain that there boy gets the nomination.

[RowdyFFC]

Like Romney is not going to have to pay to play? Like Cain or any other candidate is not going to have to pay to play?

Give me a break.

[Beagle8U]

I forgot to ping you to post 51.

That ain’t small, TEA Party style donors.

Some of it is...but it takes big donors to fund a presidential campaign...and a lot of them.

[MestaMachine]

“Pointing out he facts is your definition of hysteria?”

Yeah. Seeing as how I didn’t have a cat and all the rest of the spittle aimed my way. Damn straight. Dodging the spray isn’t how I want to spend my time.
What FACT did you post in that entire spew?

[shield]

LOL...well, there are plenty of those types here at FR these days. I was at another forum and this MIT genius graduate kept stalking me. At first, I didn’t notice after several months...I thought he is stalking me!!!
