The single most-successful fundraiser of the Ron Paul 2008 campaign took place last night in Highland Park, Texas (Dallas). The event was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Huffines.

The Huffines family opened their beautiful home and graciously hosted many supporters of Dr. Paul's. The evening ended with $102,000 donated to Dr. Paul's presidential campaign!

If you lived in or around Dallas the Huffines name would ring a bell.

Let's see. A simple report on a good fundraiser. 2 people responded, not RP supporters AFAIK. But you had to summon your Paul-haters Pinglist because "they're at it again".

Don't worry, I'm sure your cowardly keyword vandals and assorted haters will show up soon to trash everything in sight.

When are "they" going to ping each other to flame your candidate on his thread?

Favorable feature articles on page A4 of the Wall Street Journal and from the AP yesterday. Strong straw poll results across the nation. Local media attention to the “Ron Paul Revolution” in lots of different cities. Tens of thousands of young people hearing our message and realizing that being conservative means thinking for yourself and being self reliant, finally fed up with the lies of the Democratic party. Hundreds of thousands of people across the nation hearing the message of small, Constitutional government and taking an interest in conservative politics.

Thank you Dr. Paul! Momentum is starting to build and this is a good thing for the Republican party and the conservative movement in general!

That's terrific news, NU. I was wondering what kind of a fund-raiser Dr. Paul might be attending when Hugh Hewitt told his listeners yesterday (while interviewing Duncan Hunter, IIRC) that he "might have him on in the third hour" because he was at a fund-raiser.

Frankly, I see little to gain in appearing on Hewitt's radio program. He has a dwindling listening audience as he continues to beat the Romney drum and admits he's a Johnny-come-lately on the issue of illegal immigration, which stirs his radio audience much more than any alleged anti-Mormon sentiment. And we both know what subject Hewitt would zero in on if Ron Paul would appear on his show. Neither man would score any points against the other one.

I have confidence that money will go a lot further in Ron Paul's campaign than in any of his competitors', as his is truly a grass-roots movement which doesn't need massive amounts of expensive TV and print advertising to get the word out. There's never been anything like it before, even in the draft Goldwater days.

We are literally spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, of our own money on our own campaign materials. From signs, to handouts, to bumper stickers, t-shirts... we hire airplanes to circle the beach on weekends and overhead populated cities.

No other candidate has this kind of support. Counting in these private “donations” of sorts, we easily have the same monetary backing as Rudy and Romney.

Ron Paul is top tier.

You said it!

Eventually, even the mainstream media will have to acknowledge that fact. Perhaps the WSJ and AP stories of the last few days were a foot in the door?

Enjoy it while you can. The Irving Cowboys are getting ready to move out of Dallas County.
