And, of course, they were quoting a hack named Stuart Rothenberf (http://rothenbergpoliticalreport.blogspot.com/2005/09/stuart-rothenberg-bio.html), so feel free to set him straight as well:

I like how the article is about campaign money deciding who is a serious contender, and then they go and label Huckabee and Brownback who don't have the type of Money RP campaign has

I added a comment. We can't let these "reporters" off the hook with their shoddy work.

To be fair, he quoted an "analyst." Even though, he probably cherry picked a quote that would match his own beliefs.

Yep. The contact info for the "analyst" is in the first post, as well. :)

I love the talk about private planes, how the other candidates are entitled to hitch rides on them. How elitist.

Stuart Rothenberg. Sounds like a former WWE Wrestler to me.

He's not off the hook. That was sloppy reporting. If he's going to say that $ = credibility, he'd better know how much money each candidate has before he passes judgment either directly or through his choice of an "analyst." I could find an analyst to represent whatever view I want represented by making no more than five phone calls, especially if I am a reporter.

My email to the reporter referred to the fact that he cluelessly ignored how much cash RP has on hand.
