Tim Pawlenty’s presidential campaign is announcing that the former Minnesota governor has raised $4.2 milliion in the second quarter, though it remains unclear how much of this is for the primary versus the general. Spokesman Alex Conant noted in a statement that Pawlenty “begins the third quarter with more available cash-on-hand than the Republicans who won the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary had in July 2007.”
Not bad. This puts Pawlenty well below frontrunner Mitt Romney but in league with other potential competitors like Jon Huntsman. But sources say Ron Paul will report raising at least $4.5 million last quarter, possibly more, putting him ahead of Pawlenty. The fundraising dealine was June 30 and the campaigns’ reports are due on July 15.

Considering the fact that Ron Paul finished up a money bomb last night that alone netted around $4.5 million, I think it's safe to say he made well over that for the quarter.

"Conservative newspaper NewsMax has endorsed Texas Congressman Ron Paul over Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann as the true voice of the growing Liberty movement within the Republican Party."
Many Of We Tea Party Patriots Wish Both Dr.Ron Paul & Michele Bachmann Success.
The Tea Party Rebellion Escalates.
Carpe Diem.

Please excuse me but I borrowed a lot from a previous posting of mine. It was easier than writing everything all over again.
Holy cow, the election is so far away and yet we are having conversations as if the election will be a week from now.
Ok, here's my beef... I like about half of the competitors so far but I don't see any of them being able to beat the Obama machine.
Now that people have gotten a closer look at the possible choices, they are having the same ho-hum reaction that people were having towards all the candidates a month ago. And to make matters worse, nobody has the right stuff to beat Obama. Or more accurately... "The Obama Machine".
If we don't get a real candidate very soon, then we that consider ourselves 'on the right' are going to have another 4 years of Destruction by the Obama regime. But don't despair just yet...
There is one person that could beat Obama and beat him with at least a 20 point margin, which is great news considering its going to take a landslide to beat the Obama Machine. Anyway, that one person that can pull it off is none other than freshman Congressman Allen West. Probably not enough room here to explain why he can beat Obama, but I can give you a hint if you go to our draft site at... www.AMillionGoWest.com There you can learn all about our efforts to get him on the 2012 ballot. It's been a long time since so much depended on the actions of one person. If Allen West will agree to run he can WIN, and win BIG. If he doesn't agree to run, then this country is in for a very ugly future. If you want to argue these points with me just go to the site and call me out.
God Bless Allen West!

But are "INDEPENDENT" VOTERS REALLY "INDEPENDENT" ? I DO NOT THINK SO.
In theory they are ones who recognize the false choice of the "two parties" but I strongly suspect in point of "fact" what they recognize is the need to play both sides and determine which is best for THEIR PERSONAL INTERESTS. Its like an auction (silent of course ) where THEY determine which side makes the best bid. BUT THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY GOOD FOR THE NATION. It is just a form of crony capitalism.
No I think the aggregate vote determines based on how they are doing and who they identify as the culprit. On the NATIONAL LEVEL Obama is in the target hairs. Locally it might be different.

Ron Paul is a non-issue. He's a perpetual candidate who lacks any credibility. He's the Libertarian counterpart of Lyndon LaRouche.

Zbig: you are completely correct on this, as on many things. I read your blog---lots of solid common sense.
The C. elegans (look up the nematode on wiki---I did research with them in college) William R and Clint will be highly teasable come next February, and I intend to annoy the crap out of them then when Paul gets his ass thoroughly kicked, as Amalek has for 3400 years.
