Ron Paul lagging in fundraising

behind Colbert Super PAC!!!!

http://news.yahoo.com/colbert-super-pac-fundraises-ron-paul-173606794--abc-news-politics.html

Stephen Colbert's political action committee has enough cash to play jokes and pull pranks through the presidential campaign, but for now the comedian is mum on how he plans to spend that money.

Colbert's Super PAC, Americans for A Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow has $794,000 cash-on-hand sitting untouched in its coffers, according to March documents filed with the Federal Election Commission, making it wealthier than some PAC's intended to back (legitimate!) presidential candidates

The PAC raised just $44,000 in March, but spent only $28,000, mostly on Internet bills and legal fees. Though the March haul is paltry, the committee is sitting on a significant sum.

By contrast, as Politico first reported, Take Endorse Liberty, a PAC dedicated to supporting Ron Paul's candidacy has just $54,000 in the bank.

Also, Paul raised enough cash to fill in the grand canyon in '08, and whatever he spent it on, I promise you it wasn't evident in the quality his campaign...I don't know if it goes to the party after dropping out, or if Paul just gets to pocket it
