Ron Paul has topped $5 million for the third quarter. That means he's outraised Mike Huckabee by about $4 million. He's also competitive with John McCain (and, really, doing better than McCain financially when debt is taken into account) and Bill Richardson.

I still see no indication that Mr. Paul will represent any serious force in the voting booths — he's certainly not been a force in the polls (let the flood of angry Paul commenters commence).

Nonetheless, he certainly represents a dedicated super-minority of activists and grassroots donors who have spent quite a lot of time agitating for their man online and bringing in the bucks. It hasn't brought the Big Four candidates a millimeter closer to the Paul position on the Iraq war or foreign policy generally. But the Paulites have made their presence known.
