The Perry campaign sought to downplay fundraising expectations on Tuesday, after a Dallas Morning News report stated that sources inside the campaign told them fundraising was going unexpectedly well and that the campaign had raised $20 million in just three days. Ray Sullivan told the Daily Caller that the figure for the entire third quarter would not be “anywhere near” the $20 million reported.
“Obviously we hope to do well and be competitive but we are working with literally half the time frame the rest of the candidates are working with,” Sullivan said. “The figure reported by the Dallas Morning News is just nuts.”
