Ames, donations, & winning?

[The Magic Hoof]

I just got a snail mail letter from the campaign asking for $1.4 mil. I'm including a little cash to help out. But the thing is, the straw poll is JUST around the corner, like a couple weeks away, so how is it that so much can be done just two weeks prior to the straw poll? I would think they need a little time.

PS: I was expecting to wake up to a ticker. I guess the campaign didn't make it official?

just a guess here but I think the money will be used to open up offices in New Hamsphire, Nevada and South Carolina. the post ames strategy is taking hold.
