Putting the fun in fundraising: Is there a new "Mendoza line" of sorts for fundraising this 3rd quarter? Longtime baseball fans know what the Mendoza line is (we won't explain here) but what we mean here is that there may be a "Ron Paul line": those candidates who couldn't outraise Paul this quarter (he apparently took in approx. $2.4 million) ought to do some soul searching? So who couldn't outraise Paul this quarter? Dodd, Biden? Huckabee? Every other GOPer not in the top four? Speaking of Huckabee, his campaign yesterday sent out a release touting all the polls and pundits who are touting him as a dark-horse candidate for the nomination. What we haven't seen from the campaign? A fundraising release.

$2.4 million? no cant be

This is good in two ways:
1) It underestimates his donations, which will make it that much more newsworthy when they are released and he's once again ahead of not only Huckabee and the lower guys, but also McCain.
2) It acknowledges even the underestimated number as a good cut-off point that keeps Paul in the race and essentially excludes everyone below. In other words, those guys are mere also rans, but Paul is in the race.

Hell, Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo and Sam Brownback should have been doing some soul searching two months ago. But a man can dream I guess...
