Note/Snip:
Paul's campaign has not said how much of its donations were raised online this quarter. A campaign spokesman did not immediately respond to RAW STORY's request for comment Friday.

I'm waiting for the official numbers too. I'm very encouraged by the news though.

Click on the Raw story article, also click on www.rawstory.com and click on the link to the story which is third from top in middle with title "Shocker! Underdog Paul tops McCain in campaign cash"
The more people who click, the more that these publications will realize how popular these Ron Paul stories are, and will give them more incentive to cover Ron Paul more in the future.

Looks like Ed Failor is back in the news in the article about McCain's staffing cuts.
I will give him credit for agreeing to work for free while the other staffers quit when faced with pay cuts, but I don't think I recall him making a statement like this during the Iowa Snub:

Three Iowa consultants to McCain's campaign also agreed to give up paychecks but have agreed to stay on with the candidate..(2 other guys)..and Ed Failor Jr., executive vice president of Iowans for Tax Relief.

"We are not paid consultants of the campaign at this point, but I will tell you this much: I still believe John McCain is still the best man to be president and I'll still do those things I can to help him," Failor said.
....


Aparently including excluding Ron Paul.

Yeah, we certainly saw evidence of that.
