Ron Paul Has $3,000,000 Bankroll
Posted by Duane Lester on Oct 1st, 2007 • 327 Clicks

The Wall Street Journal is reporting Ron Paul has built up a little cash recently. About $3 million, give or take:

Rep. Ron Paul is bucking trends in the political money race.

While both Democrats and Republicans in the presidential race are finding it more difficult to pass the hat as their big donors hit federal giving limits, the trajectory for the Texas Republican keeps climbing.

The antiwar libertarian raised more than $3 million in the third quarter, up from $2.4 million in the second quarter and $641,000 in the first three months of the year.

For the three months ended Sept. 30, Paul out-raised old Washington hands including Democrats Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, who took in $1.5 million, and Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, who raised just under $2 million.

The good news is that Ron Paul’s coffers are filling up and his message might start hitting a few more ears. The bad news is that he spends too much time on the war issue instead of the liberty issue. Keep your message about freedom, Ron. You can win people over that way.

This is a marathon, not a sprint, folks. If Ron can keep it up, he might be a name towards the end of this thing.
