Paul Raises Over $5,000,000 in Q3 (Updated!)

This just in ... the Ron Paul campaign has just announced raising $5.08 million in the third quarter!!! In addition, thanks to his fiscal conservatism (the same you'd get in a Paul presidency), he still has money left over from the first two quarters. His total cash on hand now stands strong at $5.3 million. This has far exceeded the recent speculation that he had raised about $3.5 million. I'll write more as the news stories come in...

UPDATE #1

The news stories are coming in faster than I can read them. One interesting article that came in is that Ron Paul has apparently raised 5 TIMES as much as supposed contender Mike Huckabee. Huckabee is expected to announce raising a mere $1 million in the third quarter, however, those figures have yet to be officially announced.

Here's a selection of articles thus far. As I'm writing this more are coming in from ABC News and the Washington Post... This is a good day.
