Exclusive: Paul Tops $5 Mil For Quarter  —  Texas Congressman Ron Paul, an anti-war libertarian making his second run at the White House, will report having raised $5.08 million in the third quarter.  The number, which rivals those of John McCain and Bill Richardson, was boosted thanks …

The Atlantic Online:
Ron Paul Raises Five Times As Much As Huckabee  —  Oh me of little faith.  Ron Paul cannot be dismissed as a gadfly; the chance for him to outperform expectations rises exponentially with additional million dollars he raises.  5.08m is real money.  There must be, within the Republican Party, a vein of anti-war libertarian sentiment.
Chris Cillizza / The Fix:
Huckabee's Money  —  UPDATE, 2:15 pm: Huckabee's numbers seem even less impressive given that Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) — far more of a longshot than the former Arkansas Governor — raised more than $5 million over the last three months.  —  ORIGINAL POST  —  One of the biggest questions …

David Weigel / Reason Magazine:
Ron Paul: Five Million Dollar Man  —  Ron Paul's campaign confirms that it collected $5,080,000 in the third quarter of fundraising.  That's more than double the campaign's second quarter haul of $2.4 million; it's also as much as "comeback" candidate John McCain has reportedly raised.

Bush vetoes child health insurance plan  —  WASHINGTON - President Bush, in a sharp confrontation with Congress, on Wednesday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have dramatically expanded children's health insurance.  —  It was only the fourth veto of Bush's presidency …
Shaun Mullen / The Moderate Voice:
S-CHIP Bill Vetoed Behind Closed Doors  —  President Bush this morning quietly vetoed a bill with broad bipartisan support that would have expanded the State Children's Health Insurance Program.  Unlike previous vetoes on federally-funded stem cell research and Iraq troop withdrawals …
Jonathan E. Kaplan / The Hill:
SCHIP slips as Dems trip over message  —  Democratic leaders on Tuesday moved quickly to shift public attention to President Bush's expected veto of a children's health insurance program from a surtax to pay for the war in Iraq.  —  Democrats had been reveling in their good fortune …

Sen. Pete Domenici Expected to Retire  —  Veteran Sen. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) is expected to announce tomorrow that he will retire from the Senate in 2008, according to several informed sources, a decision that further complicates an already difficult playing field for Republicans next November.

Kos Traffic Numbers Inflated by 60%  —  Yesterday, I had the good "fortune" of being frontpaged on Daily Kos.  The post sat atop the site for two hours.  According to Google Analytics, the link produced 1,164 visitors yesterday.  —  For the traffic behemoth Kos is portrayed as, that seems low …
Andrew Sullivan / The Atlantic Online:
A Conservative Approach  —  I'm always bashing the Cornerites for not being conservative, so it behooves me to point out when the kind of conservatism I admire reveals itself.  Jonah Goldberg is not what most would call a drug-legalizer (with the possible exception of pot).

Fred Thompson on Harry Reid's attacks on Rush Limbaugh  —  Congressional Democrats are trying to divert attention from insulting our military leader in Iraq and pandering to the loony left by attacking Rush Limbaugh.  He is one of the strongest supporters of our troops, yet Democrats claim he is not being strong enough.
Darin Murphy / The Huffington Post:
Weak Has a Face, and It's Pelosi's  —  If there was any doubt before, which there wasn't, it's gone now.  Watching Nancy Pelosi on The View yesterday morning provided the final proof that the backbone of the House is only as strong as its speaker.  Her body language said it all.
Ben Nuckols / Associated Press:
Blind people: Hybrid cars pose hazard  —  BALTIMORE - Gas-electric hybrid vehicles, the status symbol for the environmentally conscientious, are coming under attack from a constituency that doesn't drive: the blind.  —  Because hybrids make virtually no noise at slower speeds when they run solely …
