Ron Paul says he has more cash on hand than McCain

Republican Ron Paul says he has $2.4 million in cash on hand "after raising an equal amount during the second quarter," our friends at ABC's Political Radar blog write this afternoon. As they say, that puts the presidential candidate "ahead of one-time Republican frontrunner John McCain, who reported this week he has only $2 million in the bank."

Political Radar adds that:

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.

1. Not enough to win the election, but enough to make a statement.

mean something important-

3. It means that McCain who was a front runner can't raise as much cash as Paul - who is/was on the bot

bottom of the Republics ladder of candidates. The article is more about McCain tha it is about Paul.

4. oh, i

understand the "meaning"-

I was attempting (poorly) to make a comment on how money is the measure of a 'person'-


Guess its nothing new- but it is something sad.
