Hmmm...

Remember the McCain Inevitability Factor everybody was trying to create? Well..... (H/T, Erick Erickson)

Though often regarded as a longshot candidate for president, Republican Ron Paul tells ABC News that he has an impressive $2.4 million in cash on hand after raising an equal amount during the second quarter, putting him ahead of one-time Republican frontrunner John McCain, who reported this week he has only $2 million in the bank.

I think it's safe to say that the new McCain Inevitability Factor has nothing to do with McCain coming anywhere close to the Republican nomination...
