wow this is incredible. Most money raised among Republicans. Overwhelmingly the most money from military of any candidate R or D.

And now, the highest percentage--by 18% points!--of money that came from people giving less than $200!

They need another press release.

This is more fantastic evidence of Paul's support. I just submitted the story from that link to drudge report. Hope you don't mind!

Actually, Kucinich and Tancredo had a higher percentage from small donors, but I only included the top ten candidates in the comparison.
