So I guess we know whom to thank for the Sec. of State's office shutting down the info pipeline regarding who has how many sig's now. Sure seems like SoS got pissed that someone let out information that was not their's to share and somehow made the signature drive a competition when it is merely a box to check.

Maybe he should have concentrated on fundraising instead of having another lackluster showing at the bank after his BIG month in March?
