lol, how pathetic. And they say this guys polls above Paul. What a joke.

[wgadget]

Maybe he's the candidate for the homeless?

[RonPaulFever]

Maybe he's the candidate for the homeless?

No, that's Mike Gravel :D

[82ndVET4RP]

lol............ Fox news Dark Horse looks like it needs to be put down.

[Zydeco]

Oh man, that is embarrassing. I almost want to donate just because it's so painful. I mean, $45,000 so far in October? Sheesh, we made more than that TODAY and people are griping about the lousy daily number.

[BLS]

Ha Ha Ha....we had that in the first day of this month. He'll never make 200k.
Why doesn't he just get out?!

[quickmike]

At this rate, it would take the Huckster 5 months to raise $450,000:D

[ACJohn]

WOW that is sad. Sad for our system when a man like Huckabee (I disagree with him, but he seams to be some what sincre) struggles for funds and Rudy has the lead.

[Razmear]

He set a goal of $600,000 for Q4? We are already almost double that, wow.

Chowda, you should add his pic to RonPaulGraphs :D

I agree. Huckabee, tancredo, Mccain and Paul should be the top tier, without a doubt. How do fools and fakes like rudy and fred get so popular?

[Vaughn]

Wow that’s so sad...I almost feel sorry for Huckabee...I mean it has got to hurt knowing that Rudy Giuliani is beating you in fundraising- that with all his supposed credentials as him being the "most conservative" and doing "the best in the debates” and constantly being on MSNBC and FOX he can only raise a measly 45 thousand!?! Hopefully Huckabee will have the honor to step out of the race gracefully.
What this helps me realize more then ever is that Ron Paul is doing exceedingly well and is indeed up there with the big guys.

[Jordan]

Are we any better than the MSM when we bash political candidate fundraising numbers?

Lets spend more time promoting our cause and less destroying others and our own ticker will go up much faster.

[brandon]

Anyone notice how his website layout is almost exactly the same as Pauls? Not to mention, hands down he copied the live donation meter.

[Stealth4]

There is a big difference. I , as an individual, reserve the right to bash whoever I want. A company whose objective is to inform American citizens of what is happening in the political world, does not have this right.

If he's polling above Ron Paul then the joke isn't on Mike Huckabee.

[bobmurph]

OMG...I almost feel bad for the Huckster.

[austin356]

awww I pity the man.

[V-rod]

It is time for Huckaboo to honorably surrender.

[transistor]

normally i'd feel bad for him, but he comes across as the same used-car salesman scum as romney

this is not ron paul grass roots

this is not obtaining new voters

Yeah, hes a doppleganger of Ron Paul, and I lost any respect I had for him because of it. I would take Rudy over Huckabee actually. At least Rudy doesnt try to copy RP's message every chance he gets and doesnt hide the fact that hes a socialist deep down. At least Rudy is honest about being completely full of shit.

These Mike Huckabee supporters are really out of touch. Some of them think Stephen Colbert (the person) genuinely likes Huckabee because Stephen Colbert (the character) sarcastically endorsed him on the show.

[Zydeco]

WOW that is sad. Sad for our system when a man like Huckabee (I disagree with him, but he seams to be some what sincre) struggles for funds and Rudy has the lead.

Huckabee is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He seems like a nice guy but don't take your eye off the CFR label, it denotes 100% pure bought-and-sold NWO trash.

EDIT: This is incorrect, Mike Huckabee is NOT a member of the CFR.

Well, did you hear Rudy at the last debate? He actually said "unconstitutional" more times than he said "September 11th"!

What a mockingbird.

I'm surprised its not a pic of a bathtub filling up.

Huckabee does not come across as entirely sincere to me. He seems like a calculating opportunist to me, telling people what he thinks will get him more power.

[Buzz]

That's exactly what he is. The only difference is that he's a little bit better at pretending to be a genuine guy than the rest of the neo-con swine.

[jj111]

Very funny :)

[honkywill]

he is about the same distance towards his goal as we are towards ours.

[brandon]

Very funny :)

haha i didnt get it at first.... but now HAHAHA

[quickmike]

What a mockingbird.

Thats true, but its so much more blatant when Huckabee does it. First Ron mentions Gandhi, then Huckabee uses the same quote about 2 weeks later, then Ron puts a live donations counter and Huckabee tries the same thing etc etc etc......and the list goes on.

Its so obvious that its laughable. Dont get me wrong, Rudy is just as big a dickhead, just in a different way than Huckster is.

[Razmear]

I'm surprised its not a pic of a bathtub filling up.

Classic :D

[jj111]

Huckabee is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Source or link please??

[brandon]

Watch huck's Alexa rating jump after i posted this thread. I bet it will double.

[Zydeco]

Source or link please??

I stand corrected, Mike Huckabee is *not* a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Thanks for pointing that out, I'd been under this mistaken impression for a while.

[jj111]

Notice that the color he chose to graphically represent his contributions that are filling a map of the United States is the same color of blood. Do you think that is symbolic of his support for the Iraq War? Or related to his bathtub remark the other week?

[Corydoras]

He would do well give up and to go back to urging people to take personal responsibility for maintaining their own health-- a perfectly conservative idea.

[cjhowe]

I'm surprised its not a pic of a bathtub filling up.

Someone should register mikesuckabee.com and skin huckabee's website with the bathtub filling based on RP's live feed :D

[quickmike]

Ok, call me a dork, but Ive been watching both Hucks and Ron Pauls front page side by side for the last 10 minutes and adding donations just for shits and giggles. In that 10 minutes, Ron raised 1300 bucks and Huck raised 100 bucks.

Pretty awesome.

[Phil M]

How is this guy polling 18% in Iowa and yet doing so bad in fundraising? You'd think that if he had a few fundraisers their he could make some big bucks.

Because the polls, especially in Iowa, are worth about as much as the dog crap that I had to scrape from the bottom of my shoe yesterday.

Wow, Ron just got 5k more in the last 5 minutes. Looks like someone maxed out, or a couple did.

[KingTheoden]

If he's polling above Ron Paul then the joke isn't on Mike Huckabee.

Those polls are about worth the value of my zinc penny tray. Generally, only Republicans from 2004 are counted. Moreover, we have no idea what the lead in questions are.

I agree with the other posters who have said that the current polls are merely name recognition answers, not leadership preferences.

[bbachtung]

I don't know when he started this live feed. He may have raised more than the amount shown this month, which I base on the following blog entry:



Last weekend we matched our Heber Springs fundraiser and that helped cap a great week of online fundraising. We can't rest on our laurels. Too much is at stake. As a way to keep our eye focused on improving our fundraising, we are challenging our campaign supporters to help us surpass last week's online fundraising performance. We are only $24,101 away from accomplishing this.

We encourage you to make a contribution today. We will update our totals throughout the weekend here on the blog.

UPDATE: $109,012 was the final week tally.

[james1906]

He can't withdraw with his tail between his legs. He must stay in for his honor, regardless of how much debt he goes into or how long he stays away from his family. It's about sacrifice and doing the right thing.

[0zzy]

To be honest, I feel sorta sorry for him. We raised a million, he 40K.

Oh well.

[Razmear]

It is time for Huckaboo to honorably surrender.

Yeh Huck, do the honorable thing...

[quickmike]

Yeh Huck, do the honorable thing...

No thats where youre wrong. Whether it was right or wrong for Huckabee to get into the race is a question for the historians. The fact is, hes in and he has to stand united with himself. This is the United States of Huckabee, not the divided states of Huckabee. If he has to go 10,000,000 into debt before he gets out, at least he did it with honor and thats more important than all the suckers that donated to his campaign.:D

[Chernitsky]

warm bath, razors....

[saahmed]

What would piss me off if his supporters start mimicking us and put signs up all over the place.

What baffles me is that the FairTax folks are putting money into his campaign, oh well.

[brandon]

If anyone here has there own webpage, please make a page comparing screen shots of Paul funds next to Huck's funds and submit it to digg. This is perfect evidence of how the MSM polling system is fraudulent.

I felt bad for the guy so donated 0.01$

You know you can bury a campaign by doing a bunch of 1cent donations because of the transaction charges make the transaction a negative...

A $1000 dollars in penny transactions would cost him around $100,000 depending on what kind of contract he has with his merchant service.

I first heard of this idea from someone on hannity forums who was suggesting they do this to Paul.

I dont agree with your numbers though, because that would mean each transaction costs the candidate 1$. I would think each transaction costs around 5 cents. I dont know, this is just a guess.

Most merchant services have additional fees for large amounts of transactions. But yeh, you are right, it would be less than a dollar a transaction, but way more than a penny. He'd be paying for 100,000 transactions to raise $1000.

They can choose not to accept and cancel any transaction made.

without any cost incurred?

[literatim]

Yes.

[torchbearer]

Well, if that's the case you can damage a credit card company by donating 1cent transactions.. they'll have to eat the cost of doing business without getting paid for services rendered.

You could also probably get sued.

[torchbearer]

You could also probably get sued.

Oh, you would... the only way to get away with it is to actually have 100,000 people donated 1cent each without any apparent organization... that way, if the credit company sued for damages, each person would only be liable for a few cents in damages plus court cost.

[jacmicwag]

Don't bury Huckabee yet. He can still do a lot of damage in Iowa where he is very popular. Let's not get a big head just because we've got a bigger bankroll.

[literatim]

At the rate of Huckabee's donations, he may not even make it to Iowa's primary.

[EvilEngineer]

I'd be sympathetic, but the man doesn't believe in evolution... at all. World's 5000 years old to him. :: sigh :: The only positive about him being in the race is that he pulls some of the pro-war vote away from the others. The more pro-war candidates the better.

[thehittgirl]

Those polls are about worth the value of my zinc penny tray. Generally, only Republicans from 2004 are counted. Moreover, we have no idea what the lead in questions are.

Polls count all people who say that they are registered Republicans or who are on a list of registered republicans. Perhaps some pollsters use outdated lists, but most have lists from as recently as 2006 - such lists are available quite easily. And who knows what the lead in questions are, but its not relevant.


I agree with the other posters who have said that the current polls are merely name recognition answers, not leadership preferences.

I agree with you, but VOTING is a name recognition answer as well for most people as well, and therein lies the problem. When polled, and I've done polling so I've seen it firsthand, people do limit their consideration to the candidates whom they recognize, but they do the same thing when they vote. Ron Paul's biggest problem is that he's only at 10% name recognition right now.

[1000-points-of-fright]

Now, now. Let's not make too much fun of Huckabee. Remember when we used to get all pissed off because the MSM acted as if only money made a candidate valid. And now that we have money.... I'm just saying.

Christ, who am I kidding? He's a fucking bass player. They're only one step above drummers on the evolutionary ladder. Good thing he doesn't believe in evolution.

lol, how pathetic. And they say this guys polls above Paul. What a joke.

And you know how he could energize his base in two seconds flat? Posting a link to this thread (now that he has innumerable referrals in his server logs emanating from this thread) with people mocking the campaign. Nothing gets money faster than showing how cocky your opponent's supporters are.

Come on, people, think for a damned second. Less mocking, more campaigning.

[Cindy]

No, that's Mike Gravel :D
