Ron Paul meets -- and exceeds -- 4Q fundraising goal two weeks early

 At $13.8 million and counting, the presidential campaign of Republican Rep. Ron Paul says it has already topped its fourth-quarter goal of raising $12 million.

The campaign just sent out the word in an e-mail blast to reporters.

"The outpouring of support is astounding. Americans are rallying to Dr. Paul's message and showing that they want a government that respects their rights and protects their freedoms," Paul campaign manager Lew Moore says in that press release.

You might recall that the campaign brought in more than $4 million in one day alone last month -- a one-day record for money raised on the Web.

polling is based on 2004 voters, through land lines.

Definitely alot has changed since then and Paul's polling numbers are incorrect.

Polling is typically is based on registered voters and/or likely voters, some of whom may not have voted in 2004. 

We'll see in about two weeks.  It's possible the polls could be completely off (I doubt it).  Let's see how Iowa turns out.
