The best part:


Campaign staffers say Mr. Paul has about $4.5 million in cash on hand

That's incredibly good news. Lots we could do in Iowa and NH with that kind of money

WSJ, we take the "new" out of "News"

Rep. Ron Paul raised more than $1 million this week for his presidential campaign through another “moneybomb,’’ as he calls them—a technique pioneered by Paul supporters that uses Internet appeals to gin up thousands of small contributions on a single day.

This one, to mark Constitution Day on Sept. 17, raised about $1.4 million.

It was the fifth “moneybomb” of the 2012 cycle for the Texas congressman; the largest haul, of $1.8 million, came on Aug. 20 and marked the candidate’s 76th birthday.

Campaign staffers say Mr. Paul has about $4.5 million in cash on hand, a relatively strong position among the GOP contenders. He’s in third place in many polls, drawing roughly between 9% and 13% of the GOP primary vote.


“The Internet, alternative media—believe me it has helped tremendously…. The question is whether this momentum will continue fast enough,” in the run-up to the primary election voting early next year, he said.

Staffers say Mr. Paul will focus most on competing in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada—early primary states with relatively cheap television markets, where he can afford to build the organization needed for a strong showing.

Really we shouldn't complain. This was an unbiased and fair article.

Excellent! That means we can get it to 6 Million by the quarter end? :-)
