Paul has $2.4 million despite long-shot candidacy for president
Associated Press - July 15, 2007 5:14 PM ET
WASHINGTON (AP) - Score one for the underdog.
Ron Paul, the Texas congressman running a long-shot campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, hauled in $2.4-million in campaign contributions from April through June and ended the quarter with a similar amount in the bank, according to financial reports filed Sunday.
The total is a remarkable showing for Paul, one that even puts him ahead of 1 time front runner Arizona Senator John McCain in terms of cash on hand.
While Paul has raised far less than McCain or the other leading Republicans, his libertarian views and opposition to the war in Iraq have lit a fire among nontraditional contributors, particularly on the Internet.
About half of his total came from contributions of less than $200.
