Please post the list of states where you claim Newt does not have delegates. As far as I know, he has not missed any deadlines yet except for Virginia and the non-binding Missouri primary.

Also, can you post how much campaign cash Ron Paul has so we can compare it to the combination of what Newt and Newt’s SuperPAC has to see if Ron Paul still has more? My hunch is since Ron Paul is skipping states like Florida, he does not have more money than Newt.

Full, comprehensive analysis: Road to the Nomination

As for funding, Wikipedia says the following:

Paul's second moneybomb (the first being before his official announcement) was scheduled for June 5, 2011, the anniversary of the 1933 joint resolution which abolished the gold standard.[55] The June 5 moneybomb, which was themed as "The Revolution vs. RomneyCare: Round One", raised approximately $1.1 million.[56] A third moneybomb themed "Ready, Ames, Fire!" was executed on July 19, 2011 to provide support leading up to the Ames Straw Poll on August 13, 2011, raising over $550,000.[57]

In the second quarter of 2011, Ron Paul's campaign ranked second, behind only Mitt Romney, in total dollars raised with $4.5 million.[58] This was $1.5 million more than his original goal of $3 million.[59] During that quarter, the Ron Paul campaign had raised more money from military personnel than all other GOP candidates combined, and even more money than Barack Obama, a trend that has continued from Ron Paul's 2008 presidential campaign.[60]

A fourth moneybomb took place on Paul's 76th birthday on August 20, 2011. It raised more than $1.8 million despite a cyber-attack against the site that took it down for several hours, after which the donation drive was extended for another twelve hours.[61]

A fifth moneybomb began on September 17, the date of the 224th anniversary of the creation of the United States Constitution. Continuing throughout the following day, it raised more than one million dollars.[62] Shortly after the Constitution Day moneybomb, a sixth moneybomb, entitled "End Of Quarter Push", began on September 22 in an attempt to generate $1.5 million before the 3rd Quarter fundraising deadline. [63]

In the third quarter of 2011 Ron Paul raised over $8 million.[8] A three day moneybomb entitled "Black This Out" brought in more than $2.75 million in mid-October.[64][65]

On December 16, a moneybomb titled the "Tea Party MoneyBomb" took place and raised upwards of $4 million over a period of two days.[66]

Paul is also supported by a Super PAC, Endorse Liberty. As of January 16, 2012, the PAC had spent $2.83 million promoting Paul's campaign. [67]

Paul also gets far more volunteer effort than anyone else. It's worth millions per month.
