He won't even come close.
I live in the 'Heartland' - the Midwest and try to read as much as possible of poltiics. The only place that I have ever seen Ron Paul's name mentioned is on FR.
This man is unknown throughout most of the country [other than the coasts] and he will stay unknown.
Well, he got another $5 m, this quarter to get his name out there and he is just starting to run tv spots. Last weekend, he had 6-800 supporters in N.H. going door to door for him.
$5 M is not much to most of the leading campaigns, but Ron Paul doesn’t have an army of advisers, pollsters, advance men, etc. So it more like $10 M for any other campaign. Plus Ron Paul gets a ton of free advertising from his supporters. Most of the Ron Paul signs, you see, were purchased or made by his supporters.
