Hats off to all fellow spearos who are now considering or supporting Ron Paul for president in 2008. I have no idea how things will turn out, but for those who have been apprehensive to support an underdog, please look at how the underdog is now doing in New Hampshire:
Romney, Obama Bring in Most Money in N.H.; Ron Paul Brings Second Most

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., may be in second place in most New Hampshire polls, but he was far and away the winner of the third-quarter "money primary" in New Hampshire. His campaign brought in $125,538, more than any competitor on either side of the aisle, and four times more than the $28,170 U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., raised within the state.
His third quarter fundraising numbers in New Hampshire are twice what he raised last quarter, while Clinton raised about the same amount each quarter in the state.
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson had a strong showing in New Hampshire, taking in $24,745, a big improvement over the $12,833 he raised here in the second quarter. U.S. Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., showed an increase in support by raising a respectable $19,500, more than four times what he brought in during the spring.
Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., has seen his polling numbers drop over the summer and his fundraising numbers, which lag behind Clinton and Obama's, reflect this. Edwards came in fifth in local fundraising, bringing in $13,555, less than the $14,525 he raised last quarter. He did come in far ahead of U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., and U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was the top Republican fundraiser, taking in $85,400, more than twice his two closest rivals in the polls, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
What may come as a surprise to some is the second highest fundraiser in New Hampshire. U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who has cultivated an avid libertarian following in the state, received $46,146 in campaign donations from New Hampshire voters. He out-raised McCain, who took in $33,167 and Giuliani, who raised $31,706.
Romney and Paul's fundraising numbers indicate they are continuing to grow support in New Hampshire. Both saw sizeable bumps in the donations made in the Granite State this quarter compared with what was given in the spring. Giuliani, who raised $22,000 during the second quarter, also saw a jump in donations.
McCain, however, failed to top the $59,406 he raised in New Hampshire last quarter. Despite improved polling numbers and the fact McCain can still draw sizeable crowds in New Hampshire, his campaign failed to pull in the kind of money now expected of a top tier candidate.
Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who raised $10,825 locally, raised only half of what he pulled in during the second quarter despite an increase in media attention and a number of visits to the state this summer. He beat out former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., who raised $9,450 locally. Thompson is a newcomer to the race and has only been in New Hampshire once since announcing his candidacy. The only candidates that fared worse than Thompson in New Hampshire were U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., and U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif.
