A Question of Seriousness
Nobody thinks that Ron Paul is a serious candidate for President. Well, at least nobody who is serious takes his campaign. But, the Paul campaign raised $5 million during the 3rd quarter. That is five times more than Huckabee's total, and almost as much as Democratic first-tier candidate John Edwards and second-tier candidate Bill Richardson.
So I have to ask the question. Is a candidate for President a serious candidate when he raises a substantial amount of money despite minuscule to nonexistent popular support?

That miniscule support won the MDGOP straw poll for Paul in August.
By almost every metric -- internet polls, grassroots support, straw polls, and now fundraising, Ron Paul is a front-runner in the Republican campaign. Only if you narrowly focus on landline polls is he considered second-tier.
Shameless Brian. You will do anything to drive traffic to your blog. Riling up the Paulnuts is becoming cliche at this point.
When the voting starts we will see how top tier the guy is.
