== Fundraising for Wilson article ==

While I'd agree that actblue is certainly a partisan source, I'm not sure that it's inaccurate when reporting fundraising numbers. I'd also disagree with your assessment that The Nation is not a reliable source for the same thing. (And having one's actions lead to an opponent doubling or tripling his contributions is probably signifigant). If the numbers show up in a clearly indisputable source (NYTimes, CNN, etc), I think it would be worth re-adding them. Best, --] <sup>(])</sup> 14:44, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

:::There is NO credible evidence, at this time, that the Democratic candidate received any more money last night than Wilson did. I have seen website after website arguing that even if you don't live in SC then you should give $$$ to Wilson for calling Obama a liar--which is the exact opposite of what the Nation and actblue or claiming. Also, Misplaced Pages has a very, very, very clear rule that partisan websites are NOT the correct source to support facts. And finally, when it comes to Congressional funding-raising what one politician raised in one night based upon the one speech or debate is a silly barometer of the race. The the only credible discussion on a supposedly encyclopedic website should be the quarterly or yearly numbers released by the ]. That's what the pros, Cook, Rasmussen, etc., look at and that is the standard that Misplaced Pages should follow, not the next day opinion of a partisan hack source such as the Nation or actblue.--] (]) 14:53, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

::::I'm not going to disagree that ActBlue is partisan, although I'd have some issues with labeling the Nation as a hack journal (although clearly FEC numbers are more reliable). However than debate that (since the Nation is no more neutral than AEI or others), I'd posit that if a major news outlet (NYTimes, Fox, AP) reports it, it's fine for us to use that. While we should always include the best references, the face that we won't have FEC numbers for a quarter or so doesn't mean we shouldn't include any coverage at all.
