Support for Ron Paul Is Real

October 7, 2007

Ron Paul’s $5 million fundraising haul in the last three months…is forcing campaign observers to sit up and take notice.

Paul’s newfound clout was on full display Thursday afternoon, when he sat down with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer for an interview on the Situation Room.

Paul emerges from quasi-anonymity to shock the political world with a $5 million quarterly fund-raising haul — a figure the other GOP candidates ignore at their own peril.

These are just a few of the many such reactions by the media to the $5 million raised for the Paul campaign last quarter. Ron Paul Supporters say the new fourth quarter goal is $12 million.

Communications director Jesse Benton reported yesterday on the high number of television, radio and newspaper interviews there have been since the reported $5 million quarter. His list was long and extensive. Afterwards, he summed up by saying, “It’s been our biggest day — no question.”

Ron Paul’s “just the Internet” support is real, and supporters are doing what is necessary to win the Republican nomination.
