Gov. Pete Wilson

So now that the political pundits have all but written off Gov. Pete Wilson as a viable candidate, what do they have to say about the $8 million he raised in one week (April 14)? If so many people are angry and disappointed about his decision, then just who is making all of these pledges?

Clearly, Wilson has his supporters. Early straw polls and opinions of radio talk show hosts aside, Wilson will prove the naysayers wrong once again.

The Times keeps reporting polls that report a huge disapproval of Gov. Wilson’s decision to run for President. If one were only to read The Times, one would think that the whole country is against Wilson. Then why, may I ask, has he been able to receive pledges totaling $8 million within just one week? It is staggering to say the least when one remembers that he has yet to declare his actual candidacy.

Could it be that those anti-Wilson voters are celebrating these early poll results, only to find themselves, once again, watching a Wilson victory in the end?
