Republican Fundraising Totals

Apparently, the standings in the third-quarter fundraising race for Republican Presidential candidates went like this: Guilliani ($11 million), Romney ($10 million), Thompson ($9.3 million), and McCain ($6 million). Don't those seem like smaller numbers than what we were hearing before? I don't know if the prior numbers were computer over the same period, but I seem to recall numbers close to, or over, $20 million for pretty much all the major candidates that I had heard of before. It also doesn't seem to compare well with the numbers that I heard from the Clinton and Obama campaigns earlier this week.

Maybe people are getting tired of shelling out their money. Is this a general "donor fatigue," or just a Republican thing. Whenever I think about the current state of the Republican Party I feel fatigued as well. I'm not sure how much of my money I would spend on a sinking ship. Still, I think the Republican candidate has a slim chance this election . . . and that speaks volumes about the weakness of the Democratic field of candidates as well. As much as us social conservatives might not want to admit it, Guilliani might be our best bet, just like Hannity says (the even more painful admission is that Hannity is right correct).
