RP is rated 7 out of 9. Are these guys nuts putting Huckabee and Brownback above RP? Maybe Huckabee, but Brownback? I'm not saying that you email them (it's prolly best that you don't), I just wanted to let you know how they had him ranked. Let's get him into the top 5 with these fundraising numbers.

The gap between the world the MSM paints and reality people can see with their own eyes is widening. The lies the MSM has to tell to cover previous lies gets larger. Fascinating to watch, like what reading Pravda circa 1988 must've been like.

hmm something has to be amiss here:


4. Mike Huckabee..........Former Arkansas governor Last Ranking: 4
5. John McCain........Arizona senator Last Ranking: 4

They couldn't have both been number 4

LOL, reeks of ridiculous bias here:

Conservative straw poll wins might be the edge of a Huckabee renaissance

....We wonder what the Paulines will do after the election? Send us virus-laden spam email?

I like the Mike Gravel comentary :cool: :


8. Mike Gravel
Former Alaska senator Last Ranking: 8
He is barely more than a punchline at this point, although at least he is not as rude as Ron Paul.

MSNBC unbelievable...

Rude? how so? It's the other candidates who laugh and interrupt Ron's points during the debates.

Love how the only comment for Ron is an insult. *Sigh...

Ron Paul raised his voice when asked ridiculous questions and was being laughed at by his peers. Wait... who was being rude?

I love what they say here about Huckabee:

"Still, his third-quarter fundraising numbers need to show that he has enough cash to start advertising in Iowa and try to become the surprise third-place candidate. Without that ability, maybe we should stop trying to put him in our top five."

I hope they're in for a surprise when they see who beats his totals for the third quarter in a row.

And once the primaries roll around. I think we "Paulites" will surprise more than a few people.

I don't see Huckabee raising more than a million.

Some googling showed that there were hopes last quarter for him to raise 2 mil, but if I remember correctly he ended up with $800,000. With his new mainstream coverage, he'll probably get significantly more than that, my guess is in the 1.5-2 million range.

I hate to give the mike huckabee website more traffic but... Ron Paul has more meetup GROUPS than Mike Huckabee has donators. Compare their maps.

I think he got fewer donations in a week than Ron got in a day

From what Huckabee said on the radio a week or so ago, they are running out of funds.

If he drops out, the values voters are going to have to support Ron Paul because he got second in their straw poll.

Yes, God told them he likes Ron Paul second best.

Because while he lags in fundraising, Brownback has very enthusiastic supporters and grassroots, like this lady here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=APZMV9leyMA

I thought it was Ron Paul. The blurb read "Stop emailing us" if I remember correctly.

Same lame bias writing here. How can he have Fred Thompson as number 2 after what he says about him? Unbelievable.
