Texas Congressman Ron Paul, an anti-war libertarian making his second run at the White House, will report having raised $5.08 million in the third quarter. The number, which rivals those of John McCain and Bill Richardson, was boosted thanks to last-minute online fundraising that brought in more than $1.2 million in the last week of the quarter alone.
Paul has drawn himself in sharp contrast with the rest of the field, often engaging in loud exchanges with fellow candidates over his vehement opposition to the war in Iraq. His campaign has been marked by frugal spending and a surprisingly strong online fan base; he routinely wins online straw polls after debates.
This is the second quarter in a row Paul has shown fundraising strength. Last quarter he reported having more cash on hand than McCain, a sidebar that contributed to stories of McCain's collapse.

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.
Thanks for the chuckle.

Why should he run as a Libertarian, be excluded from the debates, and get one percent of the vote or lower? He is already at 4 percent in some land-line polls and is debatig with the big boys.
Great post, thanks a lot. With money like this, and the frugal campaign spending, we can really start moving up now!
He’s running as a Republican because he’s been elected to the US Congress as a Republican for 10 terms. He’s a Republican.
...says the Arnold supporter.
How anyone could take that team seriously is beyond me but lots of people did, enough to elect clinton. I know it is hard to imagine spending 60 million of his own money (your figure) on a vendetta, but I think that is exactly what he did. George Bush the elder embarrassed him by rebuffing his desires to join his administration so he fixed George I.
He probably made the 60 million back many times over, in payback from clinton.
I’d like to invite all conservatives to join the Ron Paul train. You’re still welcome here. Failure to do so equates to giving Hillary the White House. Put the war issue aside for 20 seconds and think about socialized medicine, higher taxes, more inflation, amnesty for illegals, increased gun control and even more national debt. That’s what we are going to be faced with if we don’t support Ron Paul and get him elected. He is the only person who can beat Hillary in the general election. Don’t cut off your nose to spite your collective faces. It’s not too late to get on board with the only conservative who has a chance of beating her.
Ross Perot without the big ears.

Ok, maybe “quixotic” would be a better description.
Thanks but NO thanks.
Where are my manners, welcome to FR newbie.

While I really believe that a Paul vs. Clinton race would make LBJ vs. Goldwater look like a squeaker, I’ll be supporting our nominee (whoever he is) over Missus Clinton.
You're right, he's a Republican Congressman. And he's running in the Republican primaries. Those are his choices.
However he's in disagreement with the Republican Party on most major issues. You can find the 2004 Platform here.
Paul is out of step on all positions regarding the WOT, Iraq and foreign affairs. The first issue addressed in the Platform.
Paul is out of step on Homeland Security.
Paul is out of step on economic issues. The platform calls for lower taxes, permanent tax cuts, and tax based incentives for things like savings. Paul would oppose all of these, favoring an elimination of the income tax with no replacement, essentially shutting the government down.
He's out of step on trade, an advocate of tariffs.
On no child left behind.
I don't know if he's a proponent of unions.
He's out of step with the Party's position on medicare and medicaid, investing in health and technological research, and womens health.
Not clear where he is when it comes to water standards or national parks, but these are the bottom of the platform issues, certainlay opposed to agriculture and urban development iniatives.
Won't bother with drugs.
My impression he's opposed to GWB's temporary worker program, as well as opposed to the Party on issues like internet pornography, promoting abstinance, adoption. Also minor issue.
All in all, Paul supports very few Republican positions, as his voting record bears out. Thats fine, and I acknowledge he's been elected as a Republican, but for his supporters to somehow attempt to redefine the Republican Party in the image on non-Republican on the issues Paul is the height of arrogance.
He's the poster boy RINO.
They got the old steam engine repaired? Excellent.
This is supposed to be a bad thing?!?
