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.

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.

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.

The Daily Show: Chris Matthew's "Book about Sadness"  —  Chris Matthews has always puzzled me as a talking head.  There's always been this strange disconnect between his embarrassingly slavish adulation of political figures (please, don't make me repeat the glimmering GWB, the manly-smelling Fred Thompson, etc.

Another Fred gaffe  —  From NBC's Joel Seidman  —  More gaffes from Fred Thompson: Not only has he misspoken or said he didn't know about Terri Schiavo, or the controversy about oil drilling in the Everglades, or that he was unaware that a federal judge had ruled that lethal injection procedures …

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).
