Some other points that were made tonight:
1. Mike really appreciates us a whole lot. In fact he said that when he is sitting at a desk in the Oval Office one day and is asked "Well How did you do it?" Mike would definitely say that it was his bloggers that helped him out a whole bunch.
2. This has been a huge week. Fundraising goals are being blown out of the water. Online alone $112,000 and counting have been raised just today! There are twelve phones in the Little Rock office and all of them are literally ringing off the hooks! Additional phones are going to need to be brought in, as well as, increased server capacity for the website that keeps crashing under the weight of increased web traffic every few hours! It is now clear that the counter on the website is for Internet donations only. There is much more being raised over the phones. At this rate the 4th Quarter is going to be absolutely huge. In fact there is a group of 100 people efforting to raise $100,000 each for the campaign by December (that would be 10 million dollars if anyone is counting)!
3. Also discussed tonight was the GOP possibly punishing states that have moved up their primaries. Mike said he would work with what is put in front of him. He will not let anything stop him. Mike stressed the importance of Iowa and New Hampshire to the process as well. He did not say it but I think Mike is irritated that the RNC would even think of such a move. There is much more to gain from letting this one go while the Democrats disenfranchise states' voters.
That was basically it tonight. Mike had to get ready for a fundraiser in California this evening. As always it was very informative and entertaining. I've been on the line for each one since August except for one. Does anyone know the trick to actually getting to ask a question. I press the right key almost immediately after the prompt and I never get in. Oh well. As usual I was on the line while riding my exercise bike (my usual routine for debates or TV appearances that Mike appears in).

Speaking of the bloggers Call

Brian,
Great Post. I read a comment in onemom where you mentioned that you are a fiscal con, not social.
I'm reading a lot of posts that are criticizing his fiscal policy in arkansas. People are blindly just saying that he's a liberal in fiscal issues. I have a fear that this will get stuck to him and when rival campaigns put this incorrect statement in an Ad or say it on a debate, it might be hard to prove otherwise. You know how those attack techniques work.
We as bloggers need to do some deep research, and maybe ask him more directly about what his views really are on fiscal issues. So far it seems like he's dancing around it and offering populist views. I'm a strong supporter of his regardless, but i worry about future support.
You can delete this comment after u read it, i just was wondering how we can step up and fight this inaccurate statement.

Justin,
Thanks for the comment. I am working on a letter to my fellow FiscalCons to try and persuade them to ignore the Club For Growth etc. It is something that is very important and maybe more research is required. I might need some help. In the end I want what I compose to be circulated as wide as possible. I might be able to "sell it" based on what I know now but I am not sure.
