We will be looking for one million one thousand dollar donations. A billion dollar campaign will not only match Obama’s proposed war chest, it will overwhelm him and his party.
The experience of Meg Whitman last year is solid evidence of that. She spent well over 150 million in her campaign and fell short by over a million votes. What beat her? As a worker in the local GOP office, I fielded calls from people concerned with the "fact" that she abused her housekeeper, who turned out to be an illegal alien and had lied to get her job. Pure fabrication by the MSM, but enough to turn the tables against Whitman. She also lacked possibly the most important aspect of campaigning in a hostile environment....grassroots support.
What Sarah Palin has developed over the past three years, money cannot buy. Each dedicated grassroots volunteer is worth at least $10,000, and she has at least a million. One volunteer knocking on doors and talking to their neighbors is more effective than a thousand pieces of junk mail, a hundred TV commercials, etc.
As far as campaign funds are concerned, there is little doubt that the incoming flow, once she announces, will top everyone's (Including Sarah's) expectations.
I fully agree that she has done everything right so far, and all Soros' and the Unions money cannot put Humpty Dumpty together again. Sarah, even if she chooses to not run, has already won, but I believe she will.
As for me, I tithe at my church. It may be a struggle, but should be able to donate another 10% to save my country!
