Do ...By, "this month," do you mean July? Do you have a report or a link you can point us all to on that? <br /><br />The FEC disclosure material (linked in the post above) that just came out covered the governor's fundraising from the PAC's first day of operation on January 27 through June 30. Of the 242 pages of the document devoted to receipts, about 90 of them were from June alone. I didn't go through each of those 90 pages, but I think it is safe to say that that was Palin's best month in terms of the <i>number</i> of donations made, but not necessarily the greatest amount of money (...though that's likely a safe bet, too.).<br /><br />As of the end of this month, Palin will certainly be able to devote more time to fundraising if she chooses. Whether that translates into topping the money list at the end of this next quarter remains to be seen. If the present trend holds (<a href="http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/07/palin-all-tail-no-head.html" rel="nofollow">mostly small donations</a>), she'll have to work hard to make up any large donor advantages someone like Romney might have. But there's no doubt there are plenty of people willing to give small amounts to the governor.Josh Putnamhttp://frontloading.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-39010912081373274212009-07-16T18:42:34.465-04:002009-07-16T18:42:34.465-04:00Palin has raised a boat load this month.
