FIRST A2K STRAW POLL White House 2008

The original intent and language has been so corrupted by the courts, however, that I would advocate it being chucked and replaced with a different law with the same intent but less able to be manipulated by socially activist courts.

You must be talking about Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the case where the Supreme Court upheld the core points of Roe v. Wade, but backpedaled about their extent.

WASHINGTON - Shattering previous records, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton collected $26 million for her presidential campaign during the first three months of the year and transferred an additional $10 million from her Senate fundraising account, aides said Sunday.

The New York senator's total included $4.2 million raised through the Internet. The campaign did not specify how much of the $36 million was available only for the primary election and how much could be used just in the general election, if she were the party's nominee.

The amount outdistanced past presidential election records and set a high bar by which to measure the fundraising abilities of her chief rivals.

I was pretty impressed with Clinton's numbers and then totally surprised that Romney came close to matching her. He has nowhere near the name recogniztion.

Religious folks give moolah.

He still has zero shot tho

It goes deeper than religious people having money. He has a tactic that many of his competitors can't use and it's working.

There is no way in h*ll I'd vote for him but his ability to attract money is still impressive.

That doesnt seem a very convincing argument, since Brownback, the ueber-religious candidate, got all of, what? $ 1.5 mil?

As to Romney - he has plenty of name rec amongst the base. But he's a mormon, and therefore doesn't have much of a shot at winning.

That's what they said about Kennedy and his Catholicism.
