What??! More than all remaining candidates combined?? In both categories??

Oddly enough, the supposedly anti-war liberal left members of the media have not bothered to mention this.

The most shocking aspect is that Clinton and Obama together have raised nearly 8 times what Paul has, an astounding $217 million! And yet with no celebrity endorsements like Oprah or former president Clinton, only 13% of their fundraising power, and not even a tenth of their press coverage, he manages to crush their combined military numbers by over double.

I guess his assessment of the war and foreign policy is making sense to the people that actually understand it. Go figure!
