$199.35 For Fred Thompson’s Book

The New York Times is reporting someone paid that amount for Fred Thompsons book which details the “inside” story of the Watergate hearings.

I on the other hand went to the library and borrowed it for free.

Just In: Romney Raised $14 Million While Giuliani Raised $17 Million

According to reports Mitt Romney raised $14 million putting $6.5 million of his own money into the race (totaling $20.5 Million for Q2 in total receipts). He has about $12 million cash on hand or ten times his republican rival John McCain. Also Rudy Giuliani has reportedly raised $15 million ($2 Million for the primary)

To be honest this is a pretty poor showing for all Republicans in Quarter 2 compared to the dueling rivals of Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton who have each raised over $25 million in Q2 alone. It makes me wonder if Republican donors just aren’t turning out for the candidates on hand OR if they have switched to Democratic candidates. Either that or there is just a massive new force of donors on the Democratic side and not Republicans.
