    So all that Goodman momentum just ran out. A distant third in fundraising on the last report. Hmmmm what happened to all that momentum Randy was seeing, guess it was just too good to be true!

    Randy has a way to look at stuff that only he can understand.

    But when he tells you something, you can bet your boots that it is a WAG.
