Second-quarter fundraising: Ron Paul vs. other GOP candidates
Posted on 07/15/2007 9:21:51 PM PDT by Austin Willard Wright
The only other Republican who managed to raise more than $2 million in the quarter was Representative Ron Paul of Texas, whose antiwar candidacy and whose following on the Internet helped him take in $2.35 million. Nearly half of Mr. Paul’s money came in donations of less than $200; he took in nearly a quarter-million dollars in contributions from his native Texas, as well as $170,000 from California.
Mr. Paul outraised several other well-known Republican candidates. Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas raised $1.4 million; Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, raised $763,000, and Tommy G. Thompson, the former Wisconsin governor and member of the Bush administration, raised $445,000.

Well, that’s what happens when the media pre-ordains the candidates.
If George Soros would give just a little more, Paul could be in third place.
Lets see how Fred does, I think a lot of people have been holding back their donations.
That is what happens when the Republican Party lets Liberals=R.I.N.O.’s use the “Republican” umbrella to ply their devious trade.
Why do people keep saying that George Soros is giving Ron Paul money? Are they just joking? Soros isn’t giving Paul any money.
Some people are slow to realize that the new media has changed the rules.
These types of articles usually focus on the bottom-line $’s collected. The key question is how many people (i.e., potential voters), made individual contributions to each candidate? I haven’t seen these statistics expressed that way, unless some freeper can help out here. My contention is that Democrats have fewer donations, but larger amounts.
Comments?
“If George Soros would give just a little more, Paul could be in third place.”
Too bad you’re so easily proven wrong. Go sling your muck in front of someone who’s easily fooled. Try some Rudyiacs or Fredbots, they’ll suck that crap up.
Donate ONLY to individual candidates, be they Republican, or Constitution Party or whatever, who take a strong stand in favor of conservative ideals.
State your evidence, Whee The People.
I openly challenge you.
That's a really interesting question, CanaGuy. I wish I knew the answer. It should be possible to derive the answer from available data. I looked up Soros' donations on opensecrets.org (someone else already posted the link in a previous post).
I'll look into what kind of bulk data download I can get. Maybe I can come up with some data at least based on a sampling of donors.
That was my first thought. Why give money now, my candidate isn’t in the race yet.

Silly troll. Blackbird.
If the checked pants RATpublicans wish to secure a vote FOR Ron Paul (mine), then kick him to the curb. Golf shoes don't hold up well in the wilderness. Blackbird.
Ron Paul is a fruitcake.
