The figures are in for the 2nd quarter fundraising in the race for president. Ron Paul came in 4th place out of all Republicans in money raised for this past reporting cycle. Dr. Paul was only beat out by the Rudy McRomney trio in total receipts for the quarter. However, Dr. Paul does have more cash on hand than John McCain!
Within the money reports are two promising events: Ron Paul is a solid contender in the money race here in New Hampshire and he is also the most popular among the military.
Dr. Paul is just about $1,500 shy of beating Rudy Giuliani for money raised in the Granite State. The Ron Paul Revolution has raked in a total of $34,211 in New Hampshire, a total of 5% of all funds raised in the state (both Republican and Democrat).
Some of the biggest news is that Paul, being the lone antiwar Republican, raised more money from donors listing their employer as the military than any other candidate, Republican or Democrat.
The latest Gallup Poll reports that Ron Paul is in 5th place among the Republican contenders. He comes after Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, John McCain, and Mitt Romney. Paul is at 3% among the respondents to the survey, 5 points below Romney's 8%. Given that the margin of error is +/- 5%, there is a probability that the true proportion of Ron Paul supporters is greater than that of Mitt Romney.
I want to see Ron Paul's fundraising take off this next quarter. I also want to see some hard campaigning so we can overtake Mitt Romney. Let's make the next quarter even bigger than this one. I think we can beat Rudy in fundraising and Romney in polling.
