Thompson needs to have continuing funding for the primaries past SC and beyond.
His cash on hand as of the end of the 3rd quarter puts him in third place behind Rudy and Romney. We don't know what his funding level is at the end of the 4th Qtr. It should be on opensecrets.org shortly.
That's why I asked you who told you he was low on funds. I thought you had some inside info.
So the fact he said he "needed to raise more funds to be competitive in SC" doesn't necessarily mean he's running low. You inferred that.
It could be that he want's to maintain sufficient cash on hand to carry him beyond SC. A money management thing. Or you could infer as you did that he's running on fumes.
We will know shortly.
“So the fact he said he “needed to raise more funds to be competitive in SC” doesn’t necessarily mean he’s running low. You inferred that.”
He said, IF he can raise enough money, THEN he will be competitive.
That sets up a conditional dependency.
HE made the inference that he doesn’t have enough money - he has to raise it.
