And people spent more money on Crack last quarter than gave all candidates combined.

I think this really proves the point in Freakonomics that fundraising does not equal votes. In Paul’s case, it is a reverse correlation.

Money does not equal votes other wise he would be doing better in the national polls.
I do wonder where all this money is coming from because we keep hearing that it is “young people” who support him and they don’t have any money.

Does anybody actually confirm these numbers? Don’t they come from information provided to the election officials by the campaigns themselves.

Some of the numbers I see reported in the MSM are very suspect to me. I have to wonder if anyone ever follows up to see if that much is actually spent and if not, what happened to the extra.

Just part of being paranoid.

Paul should drop out and donate his money to CPAC.

Dean was the big fund raiser early in 2004, too. There is a lot of money driving the crackpot anti-American movement.

Give credit where credit is due. Those are pretty impressive fundraising numbers ... especially for a candidate widely perceived to be incapable of winning the nomination.

And every real conservative had to appreciate Paul stating clearly in the midst of the last GOP panderfest ... er, debate ... that it is not the job of a President to run the economy.

It’s fashionable around here to call him a “kook” ... but he is saying some things that need to be said ... putting ideas back on the political table that have not gotten this much airplay in a long time.

The only Ron Paul donors who are not wasting their money are those on the hildebeeste grapevine whose whisper campaign goes thus: “The NOMINATRIX already has enough money; her nomination is worthless, though, w/o a 3rd-party candidate on the right (she can’t win more than 40-something% of the vote nationally). Ergo, donations to Ron Paul might pump his war chest (and ego) so full that he won’t be able to resist running 3rd-party.”

That, my friends, is the biggest story of the year. I hope and pray that it doesn’t materialize.

As President Ross Perot and President Steve Forbes proved, if you have enough money you can win the Presidency...

Does anyone know where this money goes when he drops out. If he gets access to any of it, I think I might run in 2012.

A. What is he spending the money on? I see or hear no commercials.
B. Why hasn’t he, in the 20+ years he’s been a Rep., been able to enact any of his legislation through Congress?
C. At this point, almost at SuperTuesday, he still hasn’t published but one white paper on his positions.
D. Indirectly his, so called, foreign policy of non intervention would kill more Americans than roe v wade has babies.
E. He still hasn’t stated a plan to pull the troops out of Iraq like he says he will do. Other than saying he will confer with the Generals in charge, he has no organized numbers of withdrawals or time frame. What, I should just take his word that he will do the right thing?
F. He seems to be self serving with respect to precious metals, as he owns mines and property that is said to be ripe for mining.
G. By my count, he has had his name on just over 300 pieces of legislation, sponsor, co-sponsor, etc. Less than 7 have made it out of committee. Why should I believe that he would do any better as POTUS?
H. His bashing of the President is playing on the populist emotions, and it turns me off. Disagreeing with the administration’s policies is one thing, denigrating my President is quite another.

I gave him a serious look. I signed up, asked questions, and waited for answers that never came. As you can see, I still have issues.

Dr. No? I say Dr. No way!

Someone should take a close look at all the PayPal and credit cards donating money to these campaigns and 527's. As every webmaster knows, the assault on any login by the Chinese and Russians is incredible. It's reasonable to assume that a large number of accounts have already been cracked.

Since many people never read their monthly statements or, do not read them carefully. A $4.22 payment here and a 6.17 payment there is easy to slip through.
