Ron Paul financially outpacing John Edwards
As the 3rd financial quarter draws to a close, Ron Paul and John Edwards have set campaign goals to raise a million in the last 7* and 10 days of Q3. Ron Paul started with a humble goal of raising $500,000, but when contribution money continued pouring in at a faster rate than expected, the campaign extended the goal to one million dollars. As of yesterday at 11pm John Edwards’ site indicates $878,000 raised so far; Ron Paul is not far behind at $800,000.
Current projections will place both candidates at 1.2 million by the end of the quarter. Although these numbers reflect only the last 10 days of the quarter, it raises very interesting questions about Ron Paul’s financial standing this third quarter. If John Edwards pulled in 9 million last quarter, will we see Ron Paul triple last quarter’s numbers?
With straw polls placing Ron Paul in first place among Republican contenders, and the GOP recognizing Ron Paul as a de facto 1st tier candidate, any financial reporting over 5 million is bound to cement his position. Let’s not forget Ron Paul surprised everyone by taking in more military contributions than ALL the Republican and Democratic candidates in Q2, and amassing more cash-on-hand than Sen. John McCain.

Update*: It was brought to my attention that Ron Paul started his boost last Monday, meaning Ron Paul is out-pacing Edwards, who has a 3-day advantage.
