I just attended a press conference where Ron Paul's campaign team went through their fundraising numbers.
The bottom line: they say if you look closely at the financial numbers, Ron Paul is in the top three. They point to how much money candidates can actually spend going into the 4th quarter. It's called "Net Primary Cash on Hand" and it shows Giuliani in first ($11.4 million), then Thompson ($6.4 million) and then Ron Paul ($5.4 million).
They disqualify Romney because he's lent his campaign money and hasn't paid it back. The Romney camp would beg to differ. Actually, they wouldn't beg.
The Paul campaign says they are going to spend lots of money on TV and Radio ads in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Iowa and Nevada. And by the way, when I asked them what their number one targeted state will be, the answer was New Hampshire.
Makes sense. The voters up there have an Independent streak.
As for their high octane supporters, the campaign acknowledges that it's important that everyone stay on the same page and stay organized. What they are trying to avoid is a 2004 Howard Dean scenario where he had such rabid support on the Internet but it wasn't coordinated as well as it could have been.
The Paul campaign says their supporters are made up of a nice mix of Republicans, Democrats and Independent voters.
