Where are the Q4 2007 campaign finance numbers? And why is my first thought that someone is suppressing them to keep folks from knowing how well RP did?
"As of now, the FEC has only two commissioners. It needs four to do anything. The reason for the shortage, of course, is the Senate stalemate over vote-suppression guru Hans von Spakovsky's nomination. Sens. Barack Obama (D-IL), Russ Feingold (D-WI) and others have opposed Republicans' efforts to have Spakovsky bundled with three other FEC nominees (2 Dems and another Republican).
And when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) tried to hold up-or-down votes on each of the nominees separately in December, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) blocked it. And that's where things stand. The White House says that it's standing behind Spakovsky (even though he's packed his bags and gone)."
Next time don't suggest a conpiracy against ron paul, unless sufficient and reasonable evidence is provided. Because as you know conspiracies (which hurt the credibility of Ron Paul) spread like wild fire here.
I think everyone has until January 29th to report. After that, opensecrets.org or other websites may not have it posted immediately. I'm interested in the troop donations, hoping that he kept the lead.
Before it was always the 15th of the next month (eg, October).... is it different this time? I really wish he'd get that news blitz before all these primaries :)
Again with the conspiracy

didn't mean to
I sure didn't mean it that way... in fact, I was kind of poking fun at the conspiracy atmosphere on the internet these days.
Jan 29
