Ron Paul receives the most military donations among Republicans AGAIN in Q3

It appears our military backs Ron Paul in the most important issue facing the United States: Terrorism and our foreign policy. For the second time in a row, Ron Paul receives more donations among Republicans. Data for Democrats is not yet available, but Ron Paul crushed Democrats in this statistic last quarter as well.

McCain trails Ron Paul by 3.6 Million for Q3

Now that McCain’s donations are a matter of public record we can see that he received 5.7 million only passing Ron Paul by a mere 0.6 million in third quarter donations. Furthermore, McCain spent approximately the entire amount earned in Q3, leaving McCain with the 3.4 million he started out with and a debt of 1.7 million.

Some other notable republican campaigns owe considerable amounts of money.

Cash-on-hand minus debt after Q3

Ron Paul 5.3 million

McCain 1.7 million

Huckabee 0.6 million

Romney -8.1 million (yes, negative)

Stay tuned for more analysis.
