Jonathan Martin has a piece up about the fundraising race for the second quarter. Mostly it talks about the expectation gaming that each candidate is doing. Some (i.e. McCain) have more pressure than others to lower the bar so as to exceed expectations. Obviously each campaign is working furiously to get as much as possible. Martin had one note in particular that I found amazing:

While his public schedule has been markedly light, at least compared with Romney and McCain, Giuliani has kept up the fundraising pace. His campaign declined to say how many total events they did for the quarter, but said they’ll do around 50 in June alone.

Romney had 30 events scheduled for June. McCain had 35. Obviously, McCain and especially Rudy are doing their best to generate cash.

I think the point of all this, for us Romney supporters, is that we need to increase our efforts to support Romney. Personally, I think Romney is the president that this country needs: smart, innovative, a strong and effective executive, personally upright, god-fearing, and most importantly has the vision and message to confront the challenges that face us now and in the future. He's really the type of man and leader that comes along only about once a generation. That he is running for president is really amazing. Thus, we should seize the chance to help in Romney's efforts to lead this wonderful country.

There are several ways to donate. Here at MMM or over at the official campaign website. Help make the second quarter as successful as the first quarter!
