Well, it’s official, ladies and gentlemen. Believe it or not, Rep. Ron Paul, the 72-year-old Texan who hardly ever gets mentioned in Republican political news and the one-time libertarian who always gets the least time on TV debates if he isn’t barred completely, was, in fact, the most successful Republican fundraiser in the last three months of 2007.
While it may be official that Paul raised the most money, it doesn't mean squat in regard to the delegate clout he isn't raising.
Dr. Paul is well on his way to exceeding his goal for the first quarter of this year, go Ron.
Too bad his goal wasn't to raise delegates.
That's not true, he won LA and has come in second, what, 3 or 4 times.
Ron Paul won Louisiana (LA)? Really, that is truly amazing. Have you been talking to the people at the Psychic Friends Network? The LA primaries aren't for another 2 weeks.
You seem to think that place means something. It doesn't. Only delegate mean anything. Coming in 2nd means even less when you are beaten by such a large margin that you get zero or very few delegates compared to the winner.
Paul came in 5th in NH, but in delegates, came in tied at 4th with 0 Delegates

Nevada was good, 2nd overall with less than 1/3 the votes of Romney, but picked up 4 delegates.

Continually a spinster bridesmaid, but not a bride.
