He is there to assure Rmoney that money is not the problem for the rePIGlicans in this race. So I will not be surprised if this changes by the end of the week.

3. That was inevitable

If you rely on 100 donors to fork over the millions to your campaign, they will eventually max out their allowed donations. But if you rely on 3 million donors to give you small amounts, these donors can give numerous times before they hit the 2400 cap, allowing the campaign longtime financial sustainability. We have a monthly donation allotment of $50 and then quick donate $6 each time we get a fundraising email, so we can go a long time before we actually max out our combined 4800.

6. What is the nature of reality and time?

So what if event A could not have influenced event B, since event B occurred after event A and not before? Can one really understand the nature of the space-time continuum? What if time is cyclical instead of linear? Your perception that event in September of 2012 occurred after the events of August 2012, is just your perception. What if there is some kind of unknown time warp causing events of the future to affect events of the past? Boy then there would be egg on your face.

Damn, if this doesn't tell the truth about the corporate media being in the hands of their corporate masters. I refuse to watch CNN and MSNBC until Martin Bashir comes on and shows that follow. I also tune into Current T.V., but CNN - nope, I can't stand Wolf.
People power!!!!!!

5. I am waiting for the 50 or so ultra wealthy funders of Romney's campaign to give up

And realize that Romney is a poor investment. Without those people, Romney will be down to about $12 a month.

8. The BIG STORY here is that it came from small donors.

Not one of the tv reports I've seen today mentions this important fact.

The average was about $58.

What about Romney contributions that come from Koch, Trump, god knows who else?
