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.

1. Do you know that I am already seeing political signs for Ron Paul

outside of business lawns. I guess people are really starting to pay attention. I guess the repugs don't like the MSM picks for repug president either.

There are a few issues I really agree with him on, but there are others I totally disagree. I don't think he would be good for poor people or middle class. He is way too involved in privatizing everything, and I think I've seen enough of coporate ruling, especially in the last 6yrs.

2. Not surprisingly in my area

I have only seen ONE campaign sticker and it was for Ron Paul.
Could be he is the only one with stickers out. Hard to say.

3. McCain is just a crazy old coot.........

that's hanging in the race. He's just hoping and praying that Rudy, Mitt and all the other repuke morons that are currently outpolling him will have "macaca" moments.......
