The Fred Surge
Posted by Duane Lester on Jan 12th, 2008 • 211 Clicks

Something is going on in South Carolina. People in Canada have even noticed it:

The campaign has raised more than $300,000 online just since Fred’s dominating debate performance on Thursday night.
Fifty-six percent of all online donors since Thursday night are first-time contributors.
We have had 14,296 contributions since the Iowa Caucus with an average contribution of $98.
To date the campaign has more than 166,000 total donors and 283,000 people have signed up online as “Friends of Fred.”
More than 200 volunteers from all over the country have descended on South Carolina to help get out the vote.

On the heels of Thursday’s debate, Fred was endorsed by Human Events, the influential conservative publication. In addition, his debate performance has been praised by Rush Limbaugh, Bill Bennett and virtually every conservative blog and pundit.

It is no overstatement to say the campaign is being flooded with support.

It is good to see some life spring back into the Thompson campaign. Now, I join with others in hoping South Carolina will save us from a RINO candidate.
