Who's backing who?

Here's an article (admittedly biased) about Ron Paul's contributors.

At the bottom you'll see who's McCain's contributors are.

You tell me who America truly supports.

They give no backup info though. It seems very tacked on. I'd like to see a source on that.

I'll see what I can dig up.

This says these include individuals, but I still think it's telling of what "crowds" McCain attracts for lack of a better way to put it.

Paul's base is much more diverse and I feel it is much more representative of the American people. No wonder he has less money than these other guys. He has the real working class joes giving him their hard-earned dollars. That includes most military donations.

Mccain's main problem has been his fundraising.

It was due to that that the main stream media called his campaign dead a long time ago. It's kind of funny that they were setting up a 3 horse race, and they only got one of the horses right on the Republican side. They thought it was gonna be Romney-Giuliani-Thompson.

Well the people didn't bite. Besides, they pumped Giuliani way back when and even then, I found virtually no support for him personally. He was pumped before polls even started hitting.

I agree about McCain's fundraising which is one pont of confusion for me. Either the media was providing false information, or he got major contributions as the primary season was beginning. I don't know anyone's total earnings (other than Ron Paul has accrued over 5 million already) for this quarter.

Huckabee has had trouble raising money. Mccain has had trouble raising money.
