The most realistic thing Paul has a shot at is shoring up the election for Hillary.

...netting $4.3 million in online contributions from 38,000 donors in a single day...

And when he drops out after the primaries, I will laugh at their folly.

Single-issue anti-war voters would vote for Paul instead of Hillary, but would vote for Hillary or stay home if she was running against Rudy.

In any gathering of peoples or communities, one can always find a cheeky few who simply delight in pissing everyone else off.

I think that’s what we have here. Let them have there day.

Make sure that they vote for the “most conservative” candidate. Who can actually win a presidential race in the end.

Ron Paul won’t get the amount of support Howard Dean did in ‘real’ primaries.

That second link is short, and worth reading.

It appears (from other stories) that Hillary is funded by the Chinese. Ron Paul seems to get a lot of his vocal support from overseas computers.

Our overseas enemies are working hard to make sure that a Republican does not win in 2008.

If it’s foolish to support a pro-gun, anti-tax, pro-family, anti-big-government Republican veteran, then what the heck is Free Republic all about?

“but Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) has him beat at $6.2 million”


I think this is may be false:

http://www.ronpaul2008.com/files/11-6-2007-PressConferenceFlier.pdf

Hillary Clinton’s Claim

There have also been reports that Senator Clinton raised $6.2 million on June 30th.

The most commonly cited figure for largest fundraising day ever is John Kerry’s $5.7 million haul on the day he accepted the Democratic nomination in 2004. It is curious that no press release was issued by Ms. Clinton’s campaign for breaking Mr. Kerry’s mark.

We were curious as to these figures, so we did a little research into the FEC reports. It is strange to us that Ms. Clinton reports her three largest fundraising days to be March 31st, June 30th, and September 30th – the three closing days of each quarter.

News reports show that around the end of June, Ms. Clinton held a fundraiser with Warren Buffet in New York City that raised roughly $1 million. A fundraiser was also held in Hollywood at the estate of grocery store mogul Ron Burkle which brought in $2.6 million. On the weekend of Friday, June 29th and Saturday, June 30th, it appears that Ms. Clinton was campaigning in Florida with Raul Martinez. Ms. Clinton reported raising $1.4 million from her 14 Florida events. Some of this was later returned, per FEC request.
• While each of these events were successful, all of them did not take place on June 30th. It appears very plausible that the money brought in from these events were all tallied on June 30th, despite taking place earlier in the week.

Hey, if your candidate is a liberal, gun-grabbing transvestite or a Bible thumping, tent-revivalist huckster then a conservative constitutionalist really does sound like a kook.

I don’t know if they’re real or not, but I’m seeing an awful lot of Ron Paul signs in people’s yards around where I live - and these are not crack neighborhoods either - regular middle-class homes.

No, they're made of plastic, dust, and hot dogs.
