I find it odd that the DemocRAT has raised more money than both Republican candidates combined. Republican donors seem to be waiting for the June primary before opening their wallets. Also, it’s not typical for convention winners to be challenged in the primary. That doesn’t mean we’ll lose it, but the elements for an upset are there. Also, in sparsely populated states, local issues have a way of impacting the results without the national press corps knowing it. This is why I’ve been asking about the candidates, trying to see if they’ve said or done something to alienate them.

Keep in mind the delegate shenanigans the NDGOP pulled (16 of 25 delegates were committed Romney folks, even though Santorum got 40%+ of the vote, and Ron Paul got close to 25%--and both were still in the race). When people tried to object, the power was cut to their microphones, and the slate stuffed through.

More than a few people are still ticked off about that.

I only donate directly to a candidate, and then not often.
