Money pouring in to Ron Paul campaign

Ron Paul, the presidential candidate who was shunned by the pundits, is suddenly shattering the fund-raising records.
Aided by a nearly all-volunteer army of energized supporters, the Texas congressman with his shrink-the-government, anti-war message is predicting he will take in $12 million in the last quarter of 2007, making him the top Republican fund-raiser for the period.
And it is all small donations!
Because Ron Paul is the PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE!
In short, the 72-year-old obstetrician-lawmaker who says the nation should return to the modest government envisioned by the 18th century Founding Fathers, has inspired a movement for the online, logged-in 21st century.
Other campaigns have used the tools of the Internet as a way to mobilize massive numbers of donors. "Ron Paul was able to take it to the next level," said Alan Rosenblatt, associate director of online advocacy at the Center for American Progress, a liberal-leaning research and policy group.
Paul's "bottom up" organization — built and run by the grass roots and supported by thousands of small donations — has succeeded by tapping into issues that people care about, such as lower taxes and "getting the government out of my life," Rosenblatt said.
Although Paul has flatly ruled out a third-party run for the White House, his maverick campaign provides evidence that a future third party or independent movement could gain a national foothold.
