A chunk

You're right - it wasn't "much" of Paul's money, it was more of a "chunk" of his money. As for reporting on Paul's vote totals, there are other good sites that focus on those things. We're more concerned with the effect of the web on politics, and since Paul raised the vast majority of his money online -- which made him very popular on this site for many months -- we felt this item was appropriate.

Ron Paul

You wrote: "Much of the money Ron Paul raised for his campaign via record-breaking money bombs is going to his family members..."

Interesting definition of "much" -- in this case "much" equals less than one-half of one percent of the money Paul raised. Shocking!

How about reporting on Paul's 24% vote total in Idaho and the six delegates he picked up there. You know -- actual news.
