“.........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.

He will need good debates.He is also now EVEN with Cain tied for second.I liked it better when he was beating ObamneyCare.
Thanks for the link. That explains why they had to dig up the “rock” story - they’re trying their best to do a “Palin” on him - he scares them. That’s why the elites were desperately trying to get Christie in the race. They know the numbers & they know that Romney’s support is not moving up much. They are encouraging Cain to take numbers away from Perry. When it comes down to two candidates, there are a lot more people NOT WITH Romney, than there are WITH Romney.
That has to be troubling to the powers that be. If Perry can hang in there - AND - if people can unite behind him as the anti-Romney, he’ll come out on top.
Of course, I’m not sure conservatives are capable of uniting behind the most conservative candidate with the best chance of winning - he’s not “perfect”, ya’ know.
It's seems rumors of Perry's demise might have been greatly exaggerated.
The FEC page has not updated and added Perry let’s pray he overtakes Obamneycares money...
