Fun With Numbers
What would you do if you had $2.4 million dollars? Well, if nothing else you would have more cash on hand than the entire presidential campaign of Senator John McCain.
Apparently Ron Paul, the Republican Congressman from Texas running a long-shot campaign for the nomination actually has more cash on hand than the Arizona Senator. And he isn't the only one: Rudy Guiliani raised some $17 million for the quarter, and Mitt Romney about $20 million (though to be fair, $6 million of that he gave himself).
But all that pales in comparison to thee leading Democrats. Although John Edwards struggled along with $9 million, Hillary Clinton rode along with $27 million and Barack Obama soared over the rest with a whopping $32.5 million.
Pundits are quick to point out that money does not equate with votes. But campaign donors are not saints, they're gamblers, and apparently no one is gambling on John McCain.

Question...
So those gamblers... are they giving money to candidates that already support their issues so they can make sure those issues get pushed on a federal level... or are people giving money to candidates who they think will win in order to get their personal issues taken care of no matter the candidate's position...?
