I remember when Howard Dean did this. And when John McCain did it in 2000.

Boy, I wonder what happened to those guys????

You have a bad memory. Neither of those guys ever raised this much in a single day. Fred hasn't even come close. Huckabee? You got to be kidding. Hunter? Hunter who?

It’s one thing to crow a little bit, but if you want to win over voters from other candidates, you probably shouldn’t be demeaning or insulting to them.

Are you under the mistaken belief that by out-fundraising Duncan Hunter or anybody else on a single day or even a month or a quarter means that Ron Paul is going somewhere? It just means a bunch of people are going to be $6M poorer since they blew their money on a losing bet.

Seriously, you know that Paul has a ceiling in the GOP and in America don’t you? Its a ceiling which is far, far lower the the bar necessary to win a primary. Pauls’ only exit strategy is to go third party and he can do that knowing that it will mean electoral failure for his followers and whoever the GOP candidate is since it could allow a demoncrat nominee to win with well under 50% of the vote. Which is how we got 8 years of Clinton.

The anti-war vote ain’t very deep in the GOP. And the anti-war voters outside the GOP are not just anti-war but anti-military and anti-US so Paul isn’t going to get those votes either.
