This is amazing, truly amazing.
If I make a conservative estimate for the end of the quarter, he’ll have raised $20 million, which if I am not mistaken would place him in number one. That will give Ron Paul UNAVOIDABLE publicity, and that, my friends, along with all of the grassroots support, will win the caucus.
