In another sign of Rep. Ron Paul's online fundraising prowess, the Republican presidential candidate from Texas said in a TV interview Friday that he has raised more than $9 million during the past two months and expects to raise a total of at least $12 million for the fourth quarter.
Paul, speaking on Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital with Al Hunt," said he considers his recent fundraising success "astounding."
He added that his campaign plans another "special" fundraising day Dec. 16. On Nov. 5, Paul supporters raised $4.3 million, one of the biggest single-day showings of any candidate in history.

Too bad his goal was 10 mil by Nov 5th. Spin as hard as you want Paulbots. Paul failed to hit his targets.
So how much of this is bundled Soro, and other Leftists fat cats, money intent of using Paul as a political Trojan Horse in the Republican primaries?
Big deal. Howard Dean was supposedly a fund raising giant and we all know what happened there....
It may that most of this is leftist money from people precommitted to HRC. Still anti-GWB people see things in Paul they like even if they fear his defense positions.
How much of it is being funded by Big Marijuana and other special interests?
Let’s see what Ron Paul has to say......
QUESTIONER: “Congressman, if you were not running, right now, for office, is there a current candidate that you would identify with most and who would you vote for yourself?”
RP: “... there’s been some that hinted that they might run... that’s Chuck Hagel... I don’t know a lot about his other programs, but because foreign policy to me is so important”
“... on the Democratic side, it just happens that Dennis Kucinich is a good friend of mine”

Why should YOU vote for Ron Paul?
Assalaamu Alaikum Brothers and Sisters,
You can help by sharing and sending this note to all the Muslims you know as well as by registering as a Republican and voting for Ron Paul in the Republican primaries in your state. Here’s why: Muslims and Americans have an unique window of opportunity for the 2008 election. There is a candidate running as a Republican that would work to completely cut off the funding to Israel, remove ALL US troops from Arab lands, and repeal the Patriot Act. He’s a Republican with Libertarian views named Ron Paul. Ron Paul’s policies ranging from monetary to foreign are top notch.
Till now Muslims and Americans have not had an American Presidential candidate that really suited their best interests. This election is unique in that we have a man running as a Republican that speaks the truth. Much of the our foreign policy in the Middle East has been influenced heavily by AIPAC, the pro-Israeli lobby, to the detriment of Muslims in the Middle East. As American Muslims, we are blessed to live in the US where we have the freedom to let our policymakers know how we feel about foreign policy; we may not have the power of an influential lobby but we do have the right to vote and every single vote counts. We know the current policies in the Middle East are failing, not only making it less safe in the world but hurting and killing innocent Muslims, which our media callously calls collateral damage. It is our duty as Muslims to follow the truth regardless of how futile it may seem. Ron Paul is the only candidate that does not seem to be swayed by the influential lobbies that the other candidates are catering to. .
Brothers and Sisters, please vote for Ron Paul in the Republican Primaries. It’s our obligation to come together and try to stand up for not only our best interests, but the best interests of the entire Ummah. Living here in the West, we are obligated to do so. Otherwise, we are partly to blame for all the actions our government takes in our name.
American Muslims must RISE and UNITE. Let your voice be heard. InshAllah (God-willing), we can spread the word and make a difference.
Also - for all his faults he actually did poll quite well for a while - Paul and his internet army of spammers still don’t register nationally, nor in the overwhelming majority of individual states.
He’s going to crash and burn, and then push his weight behind a non GOP candidate.
Johnnie, you're simply a horse's behind. You've been told a million times that the $10 million goal was set by the grassroots, not by the Paul campaign. Paul's campaign had nothing to do with the November 5th money bomb.
So how much of this is bundled Soro, and other Leftists fat cats, money intent of using Paul as a political Trojan Horse in the Republican primaries?
All of Paul's contributions are from individuals. CORPORATE & FOREIGN DONATIONS ARE ILLEGAL, YOU TWIT!
Paul has never accepted special-interest or PAC money. That goes from his very first Congressional race.
Yeah, so are illegal aliens, which Paul was never strong against. Paul couldn't even win the Texas Primary straw Poll. Duncan Hunter won it.
I don’t worry about how much money he raises, or even where it is coming from. Many of Paul’s ideas will never fly with the vast majority of conservatives, and money won’t change that.
That's priceless, now you're telling us what Ron didn't say? LOL
Ron and Dennis vote alike more often than not.
