I am hoping like crazy you are correct on this...nearly $17million was spent somewhere.
Better if it wasn't

Well from Jesse Benton's mouth he said they had about $8 million left at the beginning of January...so, I want to see this report to see where the other $17million went.

That someone was me and later I said I didnt notice that they stated on reporting days they keep the office open later so I am unsure how long they have to report by today.

It looks like they're entering the biggest ones last: Paul, Romney, Edwards, Obama, Clinton. Hopefully we'll see them tonight. I'd think there'd be a little pressure to get Obama and Clinton results before tonight's debate.

On another thread it was noted that "$8 million left" could mean Paul had NOT YET BUDGETED the $8 million, so there could be a lot more left that he has already budgeted, but not yet spent.
Really, that's it? Out of all those tens of millions in the donations, the highest concentration you could find was 40,000?
Also, no, as an 'econ guy' I have no clue what you're talking about. At best you're probably confusing a lot of issues.
I thought I saw 37million..

sorry. i'm talking about his (McCain's) call to "help" the mortgage market out - and hence the bonds that are killing Merrill's earnings would suddenly appreciate in value and everyone would look pretty again.
i have a friend on Wall St. that is just furious with Goldman. According to my friend, Goldman sold a lot of mortgage-backed securities and recommended these, but took no positions of their own, just comissions. Hence, when market woke up about mortgages (that Goldman had essentially recomended), Goldman Sachs came out fine.
Goldman was about the only Wall St. firm that didn't get their ass handed to them last quarter.
sorry to ramble, i want a report.

7. Total Receipts This Period 9,969,292.21
I think the $37 is for the entire year.
Almost 10mil for McCain on Q4
GS is just a smarter firm than a lot of places, it sounds like your friend is just bitter.
Also, the losses at Merill aren't from 'bonds'.
Coincidence that all of the "front runners" (both current and past) got a TON of campaign money from Goldman Sachs? I think not.

9,969,292.21 is contributions + LOANS, his actual Q4 donations was like 6.8 or something
Rich people with spare money able to finance political campaigns of their choice? Well, that's definitely some sort of conspiracy afoot...
Also, define "TON" please, with sources.
