Michele Bachmann Money-Bomb Fizzles

Not sure what is going on here but I just got this message from Bachman.

Dear Chris,

I wanted to share some great news. We reached our goals for the money bomb and raised over $240,000! However our fight is far from over. The Democrats and liberal media have been watching our momentum carefully and are ramping up their efforts to defeat me and our conservative base. Your immediate donation will ensure they know you agree we cannot afford another four years of an Obama White House.

You and I both know that our shared constitutional values are worth fighting for and we won't apologize for it. We aren't going to stop spreading the truth about Barack Obama's socialist agenda. I will continue fighting to defund Obamacare, create more American jobs and revive our economy.

Please send a strong message to the Washington "elite" that you agree Obama should be a one-term president by joining Team Bachmann today at www.michelebachmann.com/moneybomb.

As my family and I consider what the future holds, I am so grateful for your continued support.

Michele

We didn't have a set goal to begin with and Bachman did have a set goal based on what support she thought that she could generate. Looks to me like she only has about half of the support that she thought she had. Mitt's total were pledges only, he had a ton of staff that he may or may not have been paying (I really don't know) and to me you really can not even compare the two.

Yes, I am more than happy with just over 1mill that we raised given the circumstances.... From the way that I take your posts in this thread, I think that you will be pleasantly surprized with what is yet to come.... (Maybe not)

I personally hope that both she and Palin run, and I am kinda bumbed that Huck dropped out... I believe that the more neocons that run the better it is for Ron Paul during the primary process....

But Paul gains from Huckabee, and possibly even from Palin. They're not ALL neocons in the strictest sense.

I personally do not believe that this is the case. It appears to me that most Palin, Huckabee, Bachman ect... supporters believe that we must support Israel at all costs and that they must regulate/outlaw behavior that they do not deem as appropriate. (drugs, prostitution, same sex marriage, etc..) It is because of this that I do not believe that they will ever support our good Dr. (Sad, but I believe it is true...)

Really, Bachmann, acceptable to the mainstream media. That has to be a joke, right? I mean, c'mon, even John McCain had 60% negative media coverage, and he's way more "mainstream" than Bachmann ever thought of being. Her media coverage is almost universally negative outside of FNC. The idea that any of the Republican candidates outside of the flip-flopper Romney and Gingrich are anywhere near acceptable in the MSM means that you define the MSM by FNC and its talking heads, which are on the fringes of the MSM.

FNC is the most watched news channel, so yeah they are "the MSM". You can't be #1 and not be mainstream. And besides that, FNC IS the republican primary, the negative coverage on other channels is rather unimportant in regards to the republican primary.

It was 24 hrs. starting around 7 AM Eastern yesterday (when the email got sent).

They ARE pushing her over Ron. I assume they think they can dump her at any time and being able to control her trajectory would prefer she be the tea party candidate. That is how they are billing her. (When it isn't Cain.) I agree she will be trouble because she draws a lot of people who might otherwise go to Ron, and being 2d and 3rd in a bunch of polls now STILL isn't making the conservative media treat him like a serious candidate. They simply don't WANT him to be one.

And for the money bomb, it isn't bad, except that it was the first one so everyone was looking at it as a test of her ability. We had money bombs during Rand's campaign that weren't bigger. One, anyhow. Mind you that wasn't a presidential race.

It's my understanding that Romney didn't actually secure that money, he just got $10m in pledges. I could be wrong though.

That is the rumor. I would like to know if that is fact or not too. Guess we will have to wait until the quarter numbers come out.
