Update: The top Democratic draft committee, Ready for Hillary, didn't come close to raising the $3.3 million announced by the Draft Ben Carson for President Committee, according to the pro-Clinton group.

Ready for Hillary declared late Wednesday that it added $2 million to their war chest in the past quarter, $1.3 million less than the Carson take.

The Draft Ben Carson for President Committee, which has been urging the celebrated doctor and Obamacare critic to run, on Tuesday said it has surpassed $10 million in donations. And at least one news outlet reports that he is on the “verge” of announcing.

“The great success of the draft effort is a testament to our belief that it is Dr. Carson who is best equipped to heal our country,” said committee campaign director Vernon Robinson.

The committee Tuesday morning released fundraising totals and said it collected $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2014. Overall, they have received money from 100,000 donors, and claim a volunteer base of over 20,000

He is wise and not anti gun, he is not radically progun

Such a narrow focus is counter productive

Isn't Carson a waffle on gun control? Remembering, it seems he was not clear about it. IE, go-along to get-along

Nobody knows where Carson actually stands on anything. All we know is that he talks a good game. And yet people already want him to start measuring for new drapes in the Oval Office.

Such a narrow focus is counter productive

The ability to defend one's liberty is not narrow. It is fundamental. His first positions are his gut positions. He's just another RINO who is also anti Second Amendment. What part of "...shall not be infringed." is difficult to understand. I don't intend to participate in having my life shaped by an urban sensibility.
