A few interesting things about this information. One it shows that Ron Paul is behind in the first quarter, not only behind the big names in the race, but also behind Tom Tancredo and Sam Brownback. What I found to be more interesting is the percentages after the numbers, which shows what percentage of their donations are under $200. In this regard he is doing better than the lead candidates, which is to be expected, but at 38%, Tancredo and Brownback are getting more smaller contributions.

This information if from USA Today for the first quarter and the second quarter as it has been pointed out to me may be have different results.
