Can this be correct? Only $3 million?

Surely not. At least I hope not.

Ouch...I hope it's better than that.

I call BS. He raised 2million in the last two weeks alone.

It says he raised more than 3 million. I agree with that. I just hope its five.

But then it says they've collected around $6 million total so far.

My guess is that the writer was given the information that Paul raised more than $3M, which is a true statement that is based on information the campaign has already disclosed. The writer then misunderstood that statement the same way the person who started this thread did and followed it up by adding an amount slightly over $3M to his second quarter amount to come up with $6M.

I'm convinced this is an underestimation. This kind of under-reporting at this stage will just make it that much more surprising and newsworthy when the campaign discloses a higher amount.

I didn't misunderstand anything, chief. The WSJ piece is unambiguous in stating Paul's total as being around $3 million. If it's wrong, it's their mistake, not mine.

haha true! but when someone says raised over 3 million they mean between 3 and 3.5

For the year, Paul has collected around $6 million

I'm dissapointed.
