I know a lot of posters here will be very happy. It looks like he will have outraised everyone not in the top tier, easily beating Huckabee, Tancredo, Hunter etc. Im not a Paul supporter, but this is obviously very good for his campaign. They can use this to build a real organization on the ground in IA and NH. It will be interesting to see if he can translate this into success elsewhere.

Made my first ever political donation to him, so yeah, I think he's sparking something.

You should email moveon.org while you're at it, and try to get them to plug Paul. Since he is the only anti-war candidate, I have been writing them trying to get them to throw some support his way.

An anti-war Dem would probably rather see Paul vs. any Dem than a normal Rep and the Dem of their choosing.

I dunno, most Anti-War Democrats are also very much for SS, Welfare, Rolling back bushes tax cuts for the rich etc. All of which Paul stands against.

MoveOn isn't about the war, it's about promoting the Democratic party.

I thought it was about the importance of perjury in some civil case?

Or maybe they've moved on since then.

MoveOn started as a response to the impeachment of Bill Clinton, criticizing the way tax-payers money was spent. Today they are clearly liberal, and function as an organizer to allocate funds for democratic candidates. The only people that are members of MoveOn that would support Ron Paul are those who joined solely because of the anti-war stand. Dont think that MoveOn and Ron Paul agree on anything besides the war-issue and the Patriot Act.

Good news for Paul supporters. He's no long a third-tier candidate. More like a distant second-tier one [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
