When all the 2nd quarter fundraising numbers are published (by July 15), I think
you'll find that Ron Paul raised more money second quarter than all bu the top
three candidates, and has more cash on hand than all but the top two.
Paul has a quite a ways to go to catch up with the top media-annointed
candidates, but he is out-fundriaising all the other candidates.

Is he going to have enough to take on the Democrats though? You might be right about those numbers, and I will watch them. Part of my scepticism about Ron Paul is that I don't see his appeal to the broader audience. He is against the war, which is something that puts him in line with what polls say Americans believe. Outside of that, I don't know that he has done a good job presenting himself to America. This is a very crowded, and very loud and dirty campaign season, I think he needs to jump into the fray a little more.

All he needs is exposure, the Message sells itself. It doesn't matter how much money you have, once you get the nomination, you get free press after that. He is, without a doubt, the only republican who can defeat a democrat, period. That's just all there is to it. Anyone else they put up gets crushed in 08 and I mean CRUSHED, bigtime. Ron Paul is the only credible "we're changing" guy they've got. Unless they adopt his views, which would be outstanding I think, they are toast.
Also, never put it past the democratic party to completely implode on itself. They're reall good at losing, heh.
