No matter how deeply held their convictions, Paul's Republican challengers seem every bit as quixotic as Paul was in his 2008 bid for the presidency. Paul enjoys the name recognition that comes from a grass-roots-powered presidential run, a best-selling book and decades of incumbency. He also has extraordinary national fundraising clout for a representative from a mostly rural district.
Paul's opponents are no match for him when it comes to bringing in campaign dollars. At the Feb. 10 filing deadline, Paul's campaign reported more than $2.5 million in the bank. None of his opponents had more than $2,200, according to their latest disclosure statements.
“It's really hard to raise money in this economy,” said Wall, a maintenance supervisor and founder of Freeport's Jesus Is Lord Festival.
Not so for the incumbent. Paul spokesman Jesse Benton said that when his campaign sent out a single e-mail solicitation, $200,000 poured in almost immediately.
Only a few days away from Ron Paul crushing three neocons in one evening.
