Ron Paul’s Campaign Raises $5 Million
Filed Under News, Election 2008
Take note of what you have done.
“Jaw-dropping.” “Impressive.” “Stunning.”
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 you raised for the Paul campaign last quarter. Note your accomplishment. Enjoy your success. Take a breath — but not for long. Because our new goal for the fourth quarter is $12 million, and six days have already passed.
Remember at the end of last quarter how much publicity we received when we had more cash in the bank than John McCain? That $2.4 million got us $10 million worth of national publicity. But this quarter was even better. The $5 million you raised has already generated $20 million worth of publicity nationwide these last few days. And the news stories and interviews with Dr. Paul keep coming.
Our communications director Jesse Benton reported yesterday on the high number of television, radio and newspaper interviews there have been since we reported the $5 million quarter a few days ago. His list was long and extensive. Afterwards, he summed up by saying, “It’s been our biggest day — no question.”
