The campaign has added more offline donations into the total. This brings the value of offline donations included in the total to $1,019,374.03 and the number of donors to 16,863.
I am working on providing more detail about these numbers.

It seems like the flash widget doesn't show the correct amount, unlike the one on the campaign site. Can you check this?
Huckabee volunteers are running some sort of push for Nov 20. Are you tracking this?
See www.Nov20ForTheChildren.com
Last night I noticed that Huck spanked us for the day, and the day before was close. This is a disadvantage of the money bombs, everybody holds back, but I think it's worth it!
Thanks, Dan, for a fantastic web site, a daily staple for me.

I don't know why we pay so much attention to Mike Huckabee. Just over 200 people have even signed up for that pledge. He has no staying power. Once he loses all the early primaries he will fade into the background. One of the only reasons he is doing as well as he is, is because of the Fox News Debates in Florida where he was allowed to sound presidential because all the "top tier" candidates where slinging mud at each other.
Going along with that theory of mine, I wouldn't mind seeing a timeline on Huck's donation graph pinpointing key events like the debates.
While I am posting I want to give my thanks Dan for all the work he is putting into this website.
Opinion: It is my belief that Huckabee's current support by MSM is to win the right to life votes of the evangelists so they will not go to Ron Paul. Then they can destroy him in favor of the anointed ones.
Fourteen times, the ethics commission -- a respected body, not a partisan witch-hunt group -- investigated claims against Huckabee. Five of those times, it officially reprimanded him. And, there were lots of other mini-scandals and embarrassments along the way.
He used public money for family restaurant meals, boat expenses, and other personal uses. He tried to claim as his own some $70,000 of furniture donated to the governor's mansion. He repeatedly, and obstinately, against the pleadings even from conservative columnists and editorials, refused to divulge the names of donors to a "charitable" organization he set up while lieutenant governor -- an outfit whose main charitable purpose seemed to be to pay Huckabee to make speeches. Then, as a kicker, he misreported the income itself from the suspicious "charity."
Huckabee has been criticized, reasonably so, for misusing the state airplane for personal reasons. And he and his wife, Janet, actually set up a "wedding gift registry" (they had already been married for years) to which people could donate as the Huckabees left the governorship, in order to furnish their new $525,000 home.
It may have been legal but the public voted it tacky that Huckabee and his wife had wedding gift registries to help furnish his new home years after they were married and shortly before leaving office
Furthermore, Huckabee claims to have reduced taxes but, in fact the tax decreases were tiny while there were many huge tax increases and taxes went up 47 percent under Huckabee. The Cato Institute gave him an F for his fiscal stewardship during his final term. Instead of being the honest conservative he claims to be he has proven to be a dishonest big spending liberal.
Currently you don’t see any of the above from MSM; however, if Ron Paul drops out, I believe you will.
Muss man es auf Deutsch schrieben? Bin ein wenig rostig, muss ich zugeben!
Hi Dan,
I don't know what capabilities you have available but the graphs would be more meaningful if they were not linear.
The 'bomb' distorts the averages, making it look like most donors have wandered off.
I don't know if it should be logrithmic but a compressed scale would make the daily donations a little more presentable.
Thanks for the time you are investing in this effort!

All of RP's contributors should pledge to Huckabee's Nov. 20 gig and then not donate... heh heh heh!
How about we don't.
Wasn't there some sort of controversy about Huckabee owning land that suddenly jumped in value after a dam and reservoir were built at public expense? (And with Huckabee's urging and support?)
I'm not trying to slam the guy, but if it's true the MSM sure isn't on the ball...
