He doesn’t have the money to hold his own in SC. He still has to raise it. He hasn’t been a successful fundraiser.
Freds no 3 and has $7 mil on hand at the end of 3rd QTR, Rudy's no 1 at $17 mil, and Mitts number 2 at 9 mil.
So how do you get "he hasn't been a successful fundraiser" from those numbers?
He was second in fundraising in the third quarter behind Mitt.

You left Paul out of those numbers, so Thompson isn’t #3 in fundraising.
Mitt has all the money he needs and doesn’t need to raise a cent.
Where is the 7 million number from anyway? Source?
Other posters said he was raising 100k a day, but he raised $225k in the last 7. Do the math.
Fred himself said he needed to raise more money for SC. He isn’t even sure he can do it.

I like Fred better than the other CFR-approved candidates, but it’s a comment on the sad state of the GOP that he’s losing to a huckster, a flip-flopper, a Rockerfeller RINO, and McQueeg. Paul even has 2x his numbers in New Hampshire. Fred is on the record hoping for a distant third!
