It’s the end of the quarter and donor info on public sites won’t be available for a while, but it wouldn’t shock me if a substantial part of the $5 mil. was from the Sorocrats and other leftists. Divide and conquer, that’s what they do.
Wanna bet? The last thing that the moveon.org types and Democratic leadrers want is a Hillary v. Paul race. Given the example of 2006, they know that if is a matchup in November of a pro-war pubbie v. Hillary that Hillary will waltz into the White House.
IMHO, Newt realized this too. That is why he is sitting out this election and planning for 2012 instead.
Please note that the leading leftists, Matthews, Olbermann, and recently Bill Clinton (in his election analysis) have done their best to ignore Paul. The less said about him the better from their vantage point.....hence the effort of the MSM to boost Huckabee and portray Paul as someone "who can't win" and is "quixotic."
