We don't dislike G.O.P. presidential aspirant Ron Paul, but we don't believe he is in the remotest sense electable. On the other hand, we think he brings some valuable contributions to the debates which should at least keep libertarians and tea partiers involved, and hopefully won't make them go away after Paul's demise as a candidate. He's also holding other aspirants, i.e., Mitt Romney, responsible for their records. With that said, this guy just continues to $3 million and headed toward $5 million by the end of June.From our 'We get e-mail' category, here, in part, is his latest missive:
"Earlier this week, I announced that my campaign had blown past its initial fundraising goal and is racing to reach $5 million before the June 30th FEC filing deadline.
And let me tell you, the support has been overwhelming!
Fired up grassroots supporters have already launched the campaign past $3.3 million!
My campaign has been gaining strength in the polls and on the ground with Tea Party activists, liberty-minded Americans and grassroots conservatives.
Now it’s time to show the establishment our R3VOLUTION will have the financial muscle to put top-flight teams on the ground in early voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire.......
You see, the last thing an establishment candidate like Mitt Romney wants is a contested Republican Primary.
He doesn’t want anyone to know that Al Gore lavished praise upon his stance that global warming is “your fault.”
And he certainly doesn’t have any good answers for why he jammed through a socialized medicine scheme in Massachusetts.
You and I need to take the fight to the establishment.
And unlike other candidates in this race, I’m not willing to stand by and gaze at the pitch as it sails across the plate......
I thank you for all that you do in the name of liberty."

Y'know... if Ron Paul is really popular among lots of people who don't support "establishment" politicians, and if lots of people keep donating to the man during these rough economic times when money is tight... you might want to consider the possibility that you've underestimated his "electability" potential.
Reagan was treated the same way when he ran originally. He took on the establishment just like Ron Paul is doing.
I think that Ron Paul is the only one who touches on my core beliefs regarding my freedom. The government is walking all over us and Ron is the only one willing to defend us at all.
He polls better against Obama than almost all the other GOP candidates. As long as the so-con moderates are picking soft right candidates in the primaries though, we'll keep losing in the general.
Real conservatives, like Ron Paul, don't lose the middle to the left because America is a conservative country.
