Paul Hauls In Over $5 Million For Third Quarter

Topics: Ron Paul

CBS News' Joy Lin reports that Ron Paul's campaign raised over $5 million in the third quarter. The libertarian-minded GOP candidate has attracted a dedicated following with his call to end the war in Iraq and advocacy of less government involvement in American life and commerce. The Texas Congressman has clashed with other Republican candidates in many of the televised debates on the war. Paul's take this past quarter is $2 million more than he raised during the first two quarters.

Clarification: This post has been altered to make clear that Paul is a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.

We must start paying attention to candidates who are already bought and paid for by the time they are nominated by the Big Two.
Ron Paul has the chops to wake up the masses. Give him a chance America!
I kicked in $100 bucks. Help him to stay in the race, if only to force the REP/DEMS to answer the hard questions instead of allowing up to become preoccupied by the traditional false issues of flag burning, gay marriage, abortion etc.
Rome is burning America...
Wake up!!!; Reply to this comment

by memekiller October 3, 2007 6:46 PM EDT: I owe our Paul devotee an apology. Lower name recognition than Kucinich, yet still manages to pull in a larger canvasing budget for McCain.

I''m impressed. Kudos to you, little warrior. Kudos.; Reply to this comment
