Bachmann`s fund raising very weak

the money isn’t rolling in because it’s all waiting for Sarah to announce.

Bottom line, yes. (Pun intended)

[Friendofgeorge]

This just proves my point that much of Bachmann`s support comes from MSM/Rep est. She is only a tool for them, and I guess maybe Chris Matthews, Andrea Mitchel etc are not sending anymore money?

The polls that show MB doing so well do not include Gov Palin, for the most part. And the ones that show her doing really really well are only push polling by MSM/Rep Est.

If her polls are so high, Where is the money?

We heard a report last week that large donors are not willing to open up their wallets for MB or Romney, this seems to vindicate that report.

Maybe the Obama supporters stopped contributing.

Sarah could raise over 2M before lunch.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Said it before. Representative Bachmann will not make it to Iowa.

[Friendofgeorge]

You got er!

[CounterCounterCulture]

How much are you being paid to character assassinate Michele Bachmann with baseless lies and who’s paying you? Soros?

[Rational Thought]

That’s an interesting take.

Regardless, the number (which CBS News published as $4 Million, failing to mention the $2 Million transfer of funds) is very weak.

[Friendofgeorge]

You mean character assassination like MB via Ed Rollins? I have been saying for weeks now that MSM/Rep est pollsters/media are pushing Bachmann only out of their hatred/fear of Gov Palin.

While she has some real support, much of it is manufactured by MSM, this is some of the proof.

[LaybackLenny]

You betcha ;>)

[RIghtwardHo]

I think the big money is just waiting to see what shakes out, if Sarah runs, etc.

[Lakeshark]

Maybe the Obama supporters stopped contributing.

:-)

[CounterCounterCulture]

The MSM hate both Palin and Bachmann.

You are an insincere troll. Answer the question, who’s paying you?

I believe the MSM has been bashing Bachmann and promoting Palin. She is their real fave. They can’t wait. Hence the layout in Newsweak.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Bachmann’s excuses for this showing will center on the fact that at the start of the quarter she barely had a campaign,

Bull crap. She had an extended campaign rollout (exploratory committee, debate announcement of papers to be filed, campaign announcement) for the express purpose of generating excitment and dollars. Epic fail.

[dforest]

*snort* thing is, you know what I say is true. LOL

Hope all is well at the Shark pond;^)

Believe in the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy as well???

[cripplecreek]

I think they need each other. There are at least 7 RINOs in the race running completely without scrutiny and neither Bachmann or Palin can beat the entire field alone.

No matter how highly we think of our preferred candidate, an honest man must consider the possibility that they don’t have what it takes to win alone.
