They got fundraising numbers wrong: "He has raised about $8.3 million -- peanuts compared to the $47 million produced by Republican front-runner Rudy Giuliani and the $63 million of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who leads Republican polling in New Hampshire."

Um, they are comparing what RP has raised THIS QUARTER to what the others have taken in the whole time, and Romney's loans to himself shouldn't be included either. This is quite a big mistake that we should try to get corrected. Does anybody know how to contact someone so they can change this?

16 million doesn't looke much better compared to 47 million or 63 million.

No, Ron Paul raised:

$0.6 + $2.4 + $5.2 = $8.3

Million in Q 1,2, and 3. They're accurate.

TechnoGuyRob already recognized that all candidates listed are the year to date totals. RP raised $8.3M in the first 3 quarters. Right now we've raised $8.2M and that is not offical FEC funds.

Oh, my bad. Guess it is just a coincidence that he is at 8.3 now.
