Today, the Ron Paul campaign identified that U.S. Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) run for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination has reached several milestones.Ron Paul’s campaign surpassed both Mitt Romney’s and Rudy Giuliani’s third quarter fundraising total. With over one month still remaining in the fourth quarter, Congressman Paul has currently raised $10,093,152. By comparison, Mitt Romney raised only $9,896,719 and Rudy Giuliani raised only $10,258,019 during the three-month period from July to September of this year. “These milestones are the latest indication that Dr. Paul’s message of freedom, peace, and prosperity is resonating strongly with voters across the United States,” said Paul campaign spokesman Joe Seehusen. “New money means new support.”
In another interesting turn of events in Giuliani’s home state of New York, Ron Paul placed first in the New York Young Republicans Club poll.
The Paul campaign has publicly set a $12 million fourth quarter fundraising goal, to be raised by December 31. Paul is also the first presidential candidate in history to make fundraising numbers publicly available in real-time. Recently, Paul’s campaign received widespread recognition for his record $4.2 million one-day fundraising haul on November 5. Over 37,000 citizens contributed in one single day.
