"Well, at least they can't all be president."

That's what my wife said after we watched the republic party "debate" last night. She cracks me up, I tell ya what.

before invading Iran." What does it mean when ron paul is the brightest of the bunch? He is on board regarding the war, but wacko otherwise.

Is he the only one of 'em who even knows that there's a constitution? Paul made the debate worth watching, even though he's obviously nuts.

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Ron Paul disclosed more than $5 million in third-quarter fund raising for his insurgent Republican presidential bid, the only Republican in the field so far to report increased donations.

While the Texas lawmaker remains a second-tier candidate in a party field dominated by the likes of Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, his grass-roots campaign continues to build steam, thanks to thousands of small donors over the Internet.

Campaign spokesman Jesse Benton estimates that as much as 80% of the campaign's donations are received online. In the final week of the third quarter, Dr. Paul, a licensed obstetrician, raised $1.2 million in Internet donations alone. The $5 million haul more than doubles his $2.4 million showing in the second quarter.

The funds will allow him to increase staff from 44 to 50 aides and to conduct his first major media buy heading into the crucial early primaries. The campaign has set a goal of $12 million for the fourth quarter.


....

By contrast, Mr. McCain is betting on success in Iraq. He has struggled financially and is expected to report numbers on par with Dr. Paul. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee also leads Dr. Paul in the polls, but raised an estimated $1 million in the third quarter.

who knows he's done and just wants to fizzle out gracefully. Wife and I were actually thinking about sending Paul a few bucks ourselves. The 'pub base would do well to listen to some truth on the war for a change.
