    Absolutely, Huckabee is making strides. But he's got a target on his back. The Paul campaign is exactly where it wants to be in the polls. No one is making swiftboat ads about us, and we're quickly becoming the money leader, with as many state headquarters as Romney, far ahead of Thompson, McCain, Giuliani, et al.

    This is exactly how it is meant to go down for us.
    There is no leadership. Even the political experts can't explain it. It's totally a free market of ideas. Today's Money Bomb should have yielded $2 million, but there was more support to save up for the Tea Party. It's a free choice atmosphere. The best ideas win and the enthusiasm is spontaneous.

    There is a massive amount of arguing and fighting, as well as cooperation. Dissent is usually the order of the day, even amongst ourselves.

    The guy who facilitated the largest day in GOP fund raising history (Nov. 5th) regularly gets called a fool, arrogant, selfish and stupid. And people love him. Most of the planning happens on a forum, in an atmosphere not unlike DP P&R.

    Hopefully someone writes a book about it later. Watershed times for the Intarwebs.
