3rd quarter fundraising megathread

[Maxwell]

Bush expected to beat the $11.4 million he raised in the second quarter, but nothing more specific than that yet:

He probably should raise more than Ben freakin' Carson if he wants to be relevant.

Ouch.

Well, who didn't see that coming though?

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.

Fiorina raises $6.8 Million in the third quarter, far surpassing her previous total and beating Rubio and Paul, but not quite that impressive and way behind Carson and Cruz

[Maxwell]

That's a good number for Bush out of context - In context, however, it speaks volumes about how his campaign is slowing down significantly. Within 2 weeks he raised $11 Million in the 2nd quarter, through the whole third quarter he only raises $2.4 Million more, and is burning money at an alarming rate. I don't think he can continue to run the kind of frontrunner operation he wishes to run if things continue in the downward trend.

Also, interesting Christie is spending more than Kasich, it must be Kasich's SuperPAC's who are blowing millions in New Hampshire.

That's a lot more than I thought it would be. I thought he would have to take out a loan on his house for the South Carolina primary deadline.
