A last minute fundraising email sent out by the Cruz campaign on Tuesday said that, at least at that point, the campaign was "almost $200,000 short" of its quarterly fundraising goal:

Though that's not terribly meaningful unless we know what the fundraising goal was.

That's quite a drop from the $7 million raised last quarter.

The article also suggests that the campaign now has $2 million cash on hand.


It's time to go Rand

LOL, Bernie might have raised as much yesterday as Rand did all quarter.

I wouldn't read into that- it's a standard fundraising tactic

Sanders has a total of 650k donors. That's over double the 320k Obama had from his 2008 campaign.

Is that 320k for Obama over the whole campaign or just up to the third quarter?

The legal requirement for campaigns is 15 days to report to the FEC. Outside groups and super pacs have different rules, I think that is 30 days.

I guess this is something he already announced, but Lessig raised more than $1 million in the third quarter:

This will probably put him in 2nd behind Carson depending on where Bush shows up

Solid number for Cruz. Not stellar, but he's doing exactly what he needs to do to stay in the race for the long haul.

Here’s another fundraising issue I haven’t seen discussed:

Have any of the other candidates talked about getting federal matching funds?  Obviously the big $ candidates aren’t going to bother with it, because it subjects them to spending limits, but what about the longshots?  Is no one going to do it besides Lessig?

Carson's Super PAC raised $2.9 million in the 3rd quarter, and has "more than $1 million in the bank":

This is only tangentially related to the fundraising totals, but it looks like Bush may have lost the support of billionaire donor T. Boone Pickens (of Kerry swiftboat fame), as he's now backing Carson and Fiorina:

You'd think that people smart enough to become billionaires would be smart enough to not back Carson.

Hey, don’t forget that almost every poll shows that while Trump wins Republicans who have a high school education, Carson is the leading candidate of college graduates: Tongue

Carson is actually smart, Fiorina on the other hand is a total disgrace and a really loose cannon. Did you forget already what she did on abortion?? That was ten times worse than what Walker and Rubio combined did on abortion, and that was already really horrific. The girl is insane.
