I'm glad to see that Ron Paul was actually mentioned in an article. Albeit a small article, but it's great to see that they put his picture in the middle. Makes me think of the Olympics where the 1st place winner is always in the middle.
Mitt Romney, Rick Perry and Ron Paul Loaded with Campaign Cash, But Other GOP Presidential Hopefuls Are Broke

WASHINGTON
(AP) -- Only three Republican presidential candidates are worth any
money - campaign money, that is. Mitt Romney, Rick Perry and Ron Paul
have banked millions. But the other GOP candidates are struggling or
broke, putting their candidacies in question four months before the
first nominating contests take place.
Ahead of a critical
fundraising deadline Friday, all of the GOP's contenders - regardless of
the level of their financial health - are furiously courting donors in
Texas, Georgia, Washington and elsewhere. It's a last-minute attempt to
pick up cash before they file a three-month summary that will measure
one aspect of the financial strength of their campaigns.
"With
the support of people like you, we will be able to get America back to
work again," Romney wrote to his email list Tuesday while he personally
pressed donors in New York to pony up.
The candidates' own cash
is just part of the picture because, this year, outside groups are
allowed to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money to back specific
candidates. And allies of Romney, Perry and Paul all have formed
so-called SuperPACs to help their preferred candidates win the
nomination.
He also looks the most honest and personable in this picture. The other two just look sleazy and evil.
