Give Ron Paul some credit

Well, at least Ron Paul raised enough money this quarter to be semi-competitive in the Republican primaries. With the media atention this will give him, and how divided the Republican party is, he actually has about as much of a chance of winning the Republcan nomination as the Colorado Rockies do of making the playoffs. Oh, wait a minute, the Rockies DID make the major league baseball playoffs.

Give him credit- Ron Paul's ambitious.

The Paul campaign, blown away by the massive response to their last minute request for funds in the 3rd Quarter, have upped their goal. Their modest compaign goal of $500,000 was quickly replaced by a $1,000,000 goal, and amazingly they have managed to raise a full three times that number. All that money has gone to their head, and now their goal for this month is to raise $4 million. But skeptics postulate that he will be unable to maintain the current level of fundraising momentum until the beginning of January, when the first primaries are held.

Yes, they sent it to us

We get emails from campaigns and supporters all the time telling us what they're working on. We've discovered a lot of interesting stuff that way (hint, hint).

Not a Ron Paul site

Look what you get when you google this site.

Weird. Only a few conspiracy sites mention it. Did someone pitch this site to you?

The real Ron Paul grassroots sites

I’m curious why this group — which doesn’t say anything about itself other than it’s privately funded — isn’t working with the Paul campaign, given it’s emphasis on field organizing.

None of our grassroots groups "work with the campaign." We do almost all the field organizing independent of the campaign, although the campaign recently organized a massive canvassing operation in New Hampshire. Mostly, the official campaign tries to catch up on what we're doing.

Don't feel bad though, it's a common misperception that the Paul campaigning is somehow fielding and organizing a massive army, when the opposite is true.

This site you've picked to post about looks new. I've never seen it before and it has no content. If you want to look at established and active grassroots sites, go here: Ron Paul Forums or here: Daily Paul.

Why did you choose to highlight that site?
