FRED THOMPSON

Fred Thompson, Averaging $200k Per Day Post-Announcement

Fred's people send along a few more details on their donors:

(1) More than 60 percent of that $8 million came in after Fred Thompson’s September announcement. Our “quarter” was mostly the month of September.

(2) Donation levels post-announcement = approximately $200,000/day.

(3) Donor base = about 70,000. That is a first quarter donor base larger than that of any other Republican candidate.
Had Fred come in the $5 million range, he would be largely written off at this point. Had he been well into double digits, he would be described as "riding in on a white horse." As it is, Team Thompson is off to a good start, enough to keep them in the game, but not enough to run away with the nomination this early.
