thank you both for joining me tonight. hi, lawrence. thank you, lawrence. ron kerry, i wanted to get your take on the status of the bachmann campaign at this point. does that new york post item today make sense to you that she s in trouble financially and may be running out of gas soon? michele s always had trouble raising money from fund-raiser that can give more than $5,000. the life blood of her campaign is the small donor and she has largest donor file of any conservative candidate, whether it be congress, senate or any activist. so, she has a wide spectrum of people to draw upon. the question is, will they still give? are they going to write that $25 check if they think her campaign is dead in the water? i guess the next 30 to 60 days will show whether or not they still believe enough in her campaign versus cain, santorum or somebody else to make sure their $25 check goes to her and not one of the other candidates.
