Romney Raises $12 Million Online After Strong Debate Performance

Mitt Romney raised $12 million in online contributions after his strong debate performance on Wednesday.
FOX News reported:
Mitt Romney’s strong debate performance Wednesday night has generated $12 million in online contributions, his campaign said, as well as a surge in volunteers and bigger crowds at his events.
The $12 million the campaign reports raising in less than 48 hours after the debate tops the amount Mr. Romney raised in the days after announcing Rep. Paul Ryan, R.-Wis., as his running mate and the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a major plank of the president’s health-care law. Sixty percent of the money came from first-time donors, the campaign said, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Mr. Romney’s debate performance triggered additional volunteers for the GOP’s next national turnout drive on Saturday. The number of people who signed up to volunteer to make calls, knock on doors and sign up supporters for Mr. Romney has shot up by nearly 63% since Wednesday night, campaign officials said. The Republican National Committee, working in conjunction with the Romney campaign and its various state parties, expects to contact nearly two million voters on Saturday and roughly five million for the week.

It was even more of a success after the debates. This should give Romney and all of us momentum and ask for another success God willing for the Romney campaign in the next debate.
But never forget the Obama machine and that they will do anything good or bad to succeed.
Never let our guard down, this is a race for our life, literally.

Big deal. Obama’s reached $1 billion dollars raised. Of course, much of it is foreign and illegal. Alot more has been laundered through blocks of prepaid cards purchased to conceal donations from those already maxed out.
But who’s gonna do jack about it?
Holder’s given Congress the middle finger for four years and nobody can touch him. Issa? Grassley? ROTFL. Two tired, toothless dogs that can barely cough up a weak bark. Diplomat to the UN Rice gave Congress the middle finger and is laughing away at the pathetic attempts of old fools like McCain who whimper at how unfair it is.
When Congress cannot act and the Sovereign Executive rules without accountability, the Republic is dead. Free Obamaphones, anyone?

Benched: DWS MIA in Democrats’ PR Blitz
Have you noticed that we’ve seen a lot less of DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz recently? Since getting caught misrepresenting her own statements caught on tape in early September, she seems to have been relegated to the back bench.
Wednesday night was the first presidential debate, and Democrats had their various surrogates on hand to talk to the media. Rep. Wasserman-Schultz gave interviews to Univision, 7 News Colorado, and what appears to be a pre-debate interview with an ABC affiliate. She’ll appear on Bloomberg TV this Sunday and she has a new profile in Vogue of all places, but these are not the sort of prime communications assignments she has had in the past.
Currently, Rep. Wasserman-Schultz is on a DNC bus tour making stops in places like Parma, Ohio and Dubuque, Iowa along with Sandra Fluke. These are swing states, so the GOTV efforts there are important. Still, the assignment also has the effect of relegating Debbie to small gatherings of like-minded Democrats and appearances on local news affiliates.

Analyze this BLS
US Foodstamp Usage Rises To New Record High
…[T]here was one other, far more important data point released by the government’s Department of Agriculture, sufficiently late after the market close to impact no risk assets. That data point of course was foodstamps (or the government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, aka SNAP), and we are confident that no readers will be surprised to learn that foodstamp usage for both persons and households, has jumped to a new all time record.
At 46,681,833 million the persons hooked on SNAP, the July number crossed the previous record posted a short month before, as the foodstamp curve continues ‘plumbing’ newer and greater heights each month.
More disturbing is that in the same month, the number of US households reliant on foodstamps rose by a whopping 99,493 to 22,541,744

Sure 12 million is a lot, but it’s not anything compared to the 180 million the Chinese gave to Obama.
Patty commented:
Now the Obama Administration is floating their latest excuse: that the campaign, particularly Romney stand-in John Kerry, did not channel Mitt’s aggression enough.
From CBS’s “This Morning”:
Norah O’Donnell: “Some Democrats say [Obama's] campaign needs a wake-up call. Bill Plante is here with that part of the story. Bill, you’ve been talking to your sources; what are they saying?
Correspondent Bill Plante: “Well Norah, they’re simply upset and really outraged. They blame the President’s team, first of all, for not preparing him to meet the challenge of an aggressive Mitt Romney. They say that nobody in the room challenged him, including the guy that he was debating with, John Kerry, because, as they say, he wants to be Secretary of State so he’s not going to get in the President’s face. And Presidents are used to deference; they’re not used to people challenging them like that. So they think that the debate prep was terrible, but they also fault the President himself for not understanding that Romney was going to be more aggressive.”

excuses from altitude to this, the Obama bows, can’t take criticism, blames the other guy and now a member of his own party, oh, he has allowed many in his cabinet to take the fall. Solyndras, to debates. Obama didn’t stand their at debates that was someone else.

But, I have an excuse! Too much weed!
And, My donors are crappy!

Well, given the cost of weed, booze, and the refund of Jay-Z campaign donation $1,666,666.99 goes fast. It takes a lot of money to keep the MSM megaphone going.
Even the Asians are mocking me:

Sure my campaign is in the dumps and I should drop out but Davy Axelrod has a new scam to bilk my Hollywood donors. It’s a version of the House of Cards scam. I cannot go into details at this time because my last scam failed. If this one fails I will take my donors money and go home! Good day.
