internetresearchleague.com — The Ron Paul supporters were probably the best at grabbing the attention of the Internet …The Mainstream Media did a pretty good at ignoring Ron Paul, until he broke campaign fundraising records.....Now what?

- JigoroKano, on 04/08/2008, -7/+5To be fair, the voters ignored him too.
- ssn697, on 04/08/2008, -1/+1yes, the 170 MSM stories about his fund raising totals were them ignoring him...
He was ignored for his unbelievable lame policies, inability to control his own newsletter, and his constant whining. The trifecta of lameness...
- FemaCampBoy, on 04/07/2008, -8/+9i hope he uses the money to bash the mainstream media...
- NaziHatinChimp, on 04/08/2008, -6/+11Raised? He is still raising money.

I think this kind of discredits him as the people's champ, considering it is over. Unless he runs as an independent. But if he hasn't announced by now, he may not at all. - vault, on 04/08/2008, -12/+9It'll end up in his 401k.
- Herkimer56, on 04/08/2008, -11/+7He's got some grandchildren to put through college, too.
- TheTaoOfBill, on 04/08/2008, -2/+9Again, learn campaign finance laws before you speak. I am seriously disappointed in the politcal experts on that panel. None of them understood what was allowed under campaign finance laws. You are not allowed to use the money for any personal reason. You MUST give it to a politcal cause. Most candidates who lose primaries give the rest of their money to their party for the GE. But I don't think Ron Paul would be caught dead supporting McCain's campaign. So the money will most likely go toward starting a PAC which will help finance the campaigns of congressmen who wish to run for the republican party under Ron Paul's platform.
- V3n0M, on 04/08/2008, -2/+7Right on! He's already got the PAC up and running and as far as I know it's already helping to support other Ron Paul Republicans running for Congress and Senate across the country.

- wishninja, on 04/08/2008, -7/+7He is running for president. Other than that he will be spreading it around to folks and different events he supports.

- ElRanito, on 04/08/2008, -1/+3Someone needs to convince him to run as an independent even though he said he wouldn't. I think it is the first time people would be happy about a canditate pulling a flip-flop.
- Bukowsky, on 04/08/2008, -2/+3They should just divide it up amongst diggers....
- Radigg, on 04/08/2008, -1/+1donate it to me, i could do with some charity!
- chrisaug18, on 04/08/2008, -1/+1A few days ago I was browsing through the top stories from the past year and theres several Ron Paul stories at the top. It made me wonder what happened to him and also how he will use the money now. Hopefully he issues a response to this.
