Polls are mostly meaningless at this point in the presidential campaign game. If you want to know how a candidate is doing this far out from the primaries, the best metric is fundraising—it predicts things like ad buys, organizational strength, and enthusiasm. With that in mind, Fox News delivers a bit of a surprise today:
Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., raised a combined total of $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2011, outgaining presumed presidential contender Mitt Romney who raised $1.9 million over the same period.
Which will it be, Republicans—the lunatic or the Mormon?
