"John McClane: You know what you get for being a hero? Nothin'. You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah, blah, blah, attaboy. You get divorced. Your wife can't remember your last name. Your kids don't want to talk to you. You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me, kid, nobody wants to be that guy.
Matt Farrell: Then why you doing this?
John McClane: Because there's no body else to do it right now, that's why. Believe me, if there were somebody else to do it, I'd let them do it, but there's not. So we're doing it.
Matt Farrell: Ah. That's what makes you that guy. "

Words To Live By

"The era of small government is over ... government has to be more proactive, more aggressive." ( Tim Pawlenty 2006)

"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

Campaign 101… Or 100 to 1?

Last week I guestimated that Senator Klobuchar would have a 10 to 1 fundraising advantage.

D) Ron Paul suspended his campaign, where is all the support that was supposed to make up for the purge and uneasiness of the regular donor crowds? Or will that come after everyone in Minnesota has heard that Klobuchar is up 30 points on Bills already and has a 10 to 1 fundraising advantage?

Well I was a wee bit wrong. But I think we all would have preferred I was right. Turns out it was much much worse than I predicted for Kurt Bills when you look at the critical cash on hand less than 4 months out from the election statistic.

From The Morning Take email:

USSENATE: GOP candidate, state Rep. Kurt Bills raised $243K in the last quarter compared to $950K for Sen. Amy Klobuchar. Bills has $46K [Ed: see update below] cash on hand, while Klobuchar has $5.5 million to spend.

Klobuchar has a 119 to 1 cash on hand advantage…..

Update:

MPR has the Bills COH total as $64,000. That would still be 85 to 1 cash advantage for Klobuchar. Bills will have trouble even fueling up his 3 buses.
