Oh, and this is the funny part:

http://www.iowapolitics.com/index.iml?Article=98442

Duncan Hunter was a late addition to the lineup, on June 8th. Replacing Gilmore.

Quote:
ITR and ICA are non-partisan organizations with combined memberships of over 55,000 Iowa voters. Our members are motivated by tax relief and social issues; we are creating a platform for our members to hear the various candidates speak. All credible Democrat and Republican Presidential candidates were invited.

Confirmed Candidate UPDATE; Congressman Hunter will be speaking in Governor Gilmore’s absence.

UPDATED Speaking Order:
1:30pm Honorable Tommy Thompson
2:05pm Governor Mike Huckabee
2:40pm Senator Sam Brownback
3:15pm Governor Mitt Romney
3:50pm Congressman Tom Tancredo
4:25pm Congressman Duncan Hunter
Rudy and John aren't even attending the event. Ain't politics grand?

But I wonder why McCain isn't attending, when his guy is pushing it. Rudy probably has to speak about 9-11 somewhere.

Ed Failor Jr., executive vice president of Iowans for Tax Relief, is listed as a senior advisor to Sen. John McCain’s effort in Iowa [Source: Democracy in Action]. The Muscatine, Iowa, resident also made two contributions totaling $1,250 to the McCain campaign March 31, 2007

I hear the Iowa Forum event by the Iowan's for Tax Relief pulled in 600 people for the 6 candidates they had.

After their event Ron Paul pulled in over 1000 next door.

Whatever happens, he needs to start a third party, no one else could write a platform that would be as attractive, he should be THE face of one.

I'm not just going to vote for him, I'm going to donate money and I'll do what I can.
As soon as they get innernet in Iowa, that would be a good idea.

Ron Paul Tops McCain in Cash on Hand
July 06, 2007 1:14 PM

ABC News' George Stephanopoulos Reports: Though often regarded as a longshot candidate for president, Republican Ron Paul tells ABC News that he has an impressive $2.4 million in cash on hand after raising an equal amount during the second quarter, putting him ahead of one-time Republican frontrunner John McCain, who reported this week he has only $2 million in the bank.

In an exclusive interview taped Friday and airing Sunday on "This Week," Paul said his campaign is on a better trajectory than McCain's.

"I think some of the candidates are on the down-slope, and we're on the up-slope," said Paul.

Paul's cash on hand puts him in third place in the Republican field in that important metric, although he is well behind leader Rudy Giuliani, who has $18 million in the bank, and Mitt Romney, with $12 million.

Paul, who polls show with support in the low single digits, said his surprisingly strong fundraising is the best measure of his support.

"I think people have underestimated the number of people in this country who are interested in a freedom message," says the Republican congressman from Texas, who has strong libertarian leanings.

This is getting really interesting.

I can easily see Giuliani and Romney falling out of favor quickly, too. And I haven't heard much about Thompson recently, either.

What's more important, that 2.5 million has come almost entirely from individual citizen donations.

Hopefully this news will spur even more donations for his campaign.

Myself and a few freinds are going to be helping with the RP campaign locally. I think it's going to be exciting.

This guy was in our airport on Friday night. there was a small crowd of about 30 there with signs and screaming Ron Paul 08. They looked like a bunch of hippies to be quite honest. Nothing against hippies thats just what the crowd consisted of.

This guy dont have a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

Which is a sad statement when he is one of the best candidates by far that is running.
