Miller makes big deal of filing finance report early.

Johnathan Miller has filed his finance report (about 80 days early) and makes a big deal of it. He reported raising over $.5 million. But other than making the news media happy -- because presumably, most of the money will be spent with them -- does the money necessarily mean it's "Miller time" in '08? If money is the answer, Big money Bruce Lunsford would have been our Gov. in '03 (and the Democratic ticket would now be his, since he's already loaned his campaign $2 million! Likewise, Harper would be the presumptive Republican nominee based on his campaign expenditures so far).
Caveat: My wife and I voted for Miller when he first ran for Treasurer, after he came to Bowling Green and personally spoke to us and asked us. But I opposed his KAPT and wrote a letter published in the Courier-journal against it. So there.
