Reply #30: The media blackout

Let's see what happens on Super Tuesday. Only four states have voted. He has a good chance of winning a state or even states then.

The money meme is false on its face. Edwards has far more money now than in 2004 and he was able to run a national campaign all the way to March then. He also has more money than McCain or Huckabee could dream of and neither has conceded to Romney because he has unlimited funding. Edwards had about $20 million on hand at the start of this year. His fundraising pace has picked up this month and with matching funds he is at, and probably ahead of, the rate of income he had during his successful first quarter in 2007 when he raised $14 million.

The money day thing was not publicized. One person on the netroots came up with the idea and did so with only a few days before the set date. There was not even much time to spread the word. The overall picture is he has raised $3 million online in the first 25 days of 2008 and with matching funds that will become something like $5 million.
