"More Hiring and Advertising Ahead for Paul Campaign as the Donations Pour In" by JULIE BOSMAN
Flush with cash after another record fund-raising event, the campaign of Ron Paul said Monday that it was hiring more staff members, expanding its ground operations in early primary states, planning more advertising and looking ahead to competing in the contests on Feb. 5.
Supporters of the campaign broke a record on Sunday when they raised just over $6 million in an Internet campaign for Mr. Paul, a 10-term Republican congressman from Texas whose antiwar, libertarian message has caught on with an enthusiastic and generous segment of the electorate. It raised an additional $360,000 on Monday.
The donations eclipsed a previous one-day fund-raising record of $5.7 million, set by Senator John Kerry in 2004 after he accepted the Democratic nomination for president. Mr. Paul’s previous single-day fund-raising high was $4.2 million on Nov. 5, raised in a campaign set up by supporters.
The latest fund-raiser was timed to the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, to underscore Mr. Paul’s message of changing course in America. His agenda includes pulling out of Iraq, doing away with the federal income tax and eliminating bureaucracies like the federal Department of Education.
The $6 million, which is in approved credit card receipts, puts his fourth-quarter tally at more than $18 million. The Paul campaign would not say how much it had spent and how much cash it had on hand; all of the candidates must report their quarterly finances next month.
Mr. Paul said in a telephone interview Monday that he intended to spend the money “wisely,” including on expanded advertising and additional staff members in early primary states.
“We have to do what we can to score well on these early primaries,” he said. “And have some money in the bank to campaign for Super Tuesday.” Mr. Paul was referring to Feb. 5, a primary day involving numerous states.
His candidacy has been widely considered a long shot, and he remains in the single digits in national and state polls. But his large bankroll can keep him in the contest beyond early January and help him draw votes from rivals like Senator John McCain of Arizona, who will be competing for some of the same independent voters in New Hampshire.
Mr. Paul, at a news conference on Monday in Des Moines, also declined to rule out the possibility of running as an independent, a move encouraged by many of his supporters. But, he added, “I can’t foresee that happening.”
A spokesman for the campaign, Jesse Benton, said it would use the money to rush out a new television advertisement and put it on the air in Iowa and New Hampshire by midweek. Mr. Benton said the campaign would also hire more staff members in Florida and California, states in which his aides said they believed he could be competitive. “This is money in the bank,” he said.
But even Mr. Paul at times has seemed surprised that he now has the resources to compete. On Monday, he said the campaign had never dared to think beyond its budget.
“We never would plan anything we didn’t have money for, so we’ve always been very cautious,” Mr. Paul said. “It makes it easy to make plans when you know you can pay the bills.”
