[...] Other than that, presidential fever has taken hold of our local blogosphere. Huckabee-ry Hounding is taking place at First State….much to writer David Anderson’s chagrin, since he seems to support the Huck’ster….Ron Paul’s fundraising prowness has inspired DWA, The Curmudgeon,, Delaware Libertarian(nice format change), and Delaware Liberal.

Well there was a guy named Howard Dean..and since you mentioned the people across the country I would make a suggestion to Dr. Paul based on what happened to Dean.

Don’t try to spend the money in Iowa and NH.

Thanks for the post, Jason.

The numbers are actual donations, not pledges, and in fact the final number will be slightly higher because of the offline donations that also came in yesterday but not added to the online calculations.

Paul’s campaign is extremely transparent. You can track his fundraising minute-by-minute. http://www.ronpaulgraphs.com/

For Q4, total so far : $18,270,456

Even more telling than the money haul is the # of donors. These are just regular people ponying up for Dr. Paul through small donations which averaged just over $100/person.

These are people who are also committed to organizing on the ground for Paul across the country. The level of enthusiasm and dedication in Paul’s supporters is unlike anything I have seen for any presidential candidate in my lifetime.

Campaigns can’t buy these types of motivated self-organizing ground forces, not to mention how self-starting they are in their efforts. You are right this is becoming a grassroots movement in the truest sense.

Paul doesn’t have Huckabee’s flaws.

What? Nothing about how Ron Paul is the anti-Christ ?

I guess he is not regarded as a Huckabee-esque level threat to Romney yet?

Paul also got an endorsement from Andrew Sullivan. Now that means something different to different people (and zero to me), but he’s sorta mainstream.
