More GOOD information!

A source on the Rick Perry campaign tells Hot Air that the Texas governor conducted some Texas-size fundraising in the third quarter. Coming in just a little over halfway through, Perry raised $17.1 million. That number would put Perry somewhere between $4-6 million ahead of Mitt Romney’s rumored total for Q3, according to this report last week from the Boston Globe. It’s also likely to far outpace Herman Cain’s fundraising or that of the other Republicans currently in the race.
The pace is even more impressive. Perry had 49 days in which to raise funds, rather than the full 92 days of the quarter, a rate of about $349,000 a day. The final debate in September didn’t hurt Perry’s fundraising rate, either. In the 42 days prior to the Orlando debate, their rate was $323K per day; in the eight days following the Orlando debate, that escalated to $478K per day. Perry’s on-line operation did well, too, drawing in $1.1 million — despite, as my source says, not driving contributions with their on-line ads.
Best of all for the Perry campaign, the burn rate in the first seven weeks was negligible. The campaign has $15 million cash on hand from its $17.1 million haul. Team Perry wanted 18,000 contributors in this quarter, and finished with over 22,000. More than 60% of their contributors donated $250 or less, which means that they can keep going back to them for more money.
The message that Perry’s campaign wants this report to send is that Perry isn’t going away — and that he can out-raise and out-organize the rest of the field. With Perry taking a big hit in polling, that message can’t come at a better time. However, Perry will need a good debate performance next week in order to truly right the ship and regain some of the momentum lost in the polls.

Amazing isn’t it? :)
The MSM is going down.
“...Perry isn’t going away...”
That’s good news, I’d like to see him continue. It’s good for the process and it’s good for America.

The FR moderator LOCKED the Drudge Headline thread.
Take a look at this!!!
I guess the Drudge thread is locked because they want posters directed to this thread.
Just another example of your "dogged vetting" or was it "dog petting"?
Just sends tingles up and down your __________.
And that thread had 81 posts and climbing while this one has ~ 10? Go figure.
17.1 million buys a lot of of hairspray. Thanks, but no thanks. Between LBJ, a couple of Bushes, and the Texan’s love of mexican slave labor, I’ll pass on El Presidente Ricardo. Maybe he has a shot at winning the elections down there, here not so much.
I’ll take a 2nd Amendment man over Romney any day of the week.
It that the kind of manners your mother taught you?
Liz posted in the other thread where all of Perry’s money is coming from and it isn’t pretty. Like I have said all along Perry is in the back pockets of corporations.
If he is elected we get more of the same and our country goes down the toilet.
The establishment republicans on FR are out in full force to shove this guy down our throats. People reading these threads should realize we have other far more conservative choices. Choices that are not beholden to special interest groups like Perry and Romney are.
So, what's it going to cost us this time?
