Are you claiming that Hunter will not have to rasie much money to win?

No.

Just that he won't have to raise as much money as the like of Rudy. He won't need a massive media buy to convince primary voters that he is a conservative.

How about a figure. Deport thinks at least $100 million. How much do you think Hunter will need?

He'll need a massive media buy just to convince them he even exists.

We've had a quarter million signups here at FR. That greatly overstates the number of active posters and lurkers we have. After you remove all the trolls, folks who've lost interest, multiple accounts, etc., there are probably twenty to thirty thousand of us who routinely come to the site.

On any given day, it's probably 1/10th of that who actually make a post.

You might be able to convince the majority (probably not) that a particular candidate deserves the support of Freepers, but winning this forum is not at all like winning a real election outside.

Hunter will require massive money just to get to where he's a contender. If he's planning to do it on a shoestring, forget it.

No, of course he won't have to raise much money at all. After all, why raise money, when you know that you're going to lose? :-)
