"In the Republican presidential primary, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee told CNN he expected to raise $500,000 in the first quarter and show $300,000 in the bank."

WOW, THATS A LOT OF MONEY !

That's pretty bad....though not as bad as Gilmore:

OK, so it looks like Gilmore and Huckabee are likely out of the running for 4th place in the GOP $ race this quarter.  I wonder who's going to come in 4th.  I guess it would either be Brownback, Hunter, or T. Thompson.

I think Mike Huckabees first campaign goal is to mail every registered voter in the US a ball-pen case with "Mike Huckabee 2008" written across (estimated cost: 200.000 US-$ and gamble and eat away the rest ...

Remember: Bill Cliton didn´t have much money either when he started ...

If Obama comes in with something like a 20 Mio. +, Democrats outraised Republicans by 75 to 50 Mio.

Didn´t the Republicans always have the fundraising edge ? Until now ?

Naw, don't ban him.  I believe in free speech, even for raving mad lunatics. 

Free speech doesn't matter on a private message board.

Anyway, it looks like Obama raised $25 million now...
