Ron Paul: Five Million Dollar Man  —  Ron Paul's campaign confirms that it collected $5,080,000 in the third quarter of fundraising.  That's more than double the campaign's second quarter haul of $2.4 million; it's also as much as "comeback" candidate John McCain has reportedly raised.

Kos Traffic Numbers Inflated by 60%  —  Yesterday, I had the good "fortune" of being frontpaged on Daily Kos.  The post sat atop the site for two hours.  According to Google Analytics, the link produced 1,164 visitors yesterday.  —  For the traffic behemoth Kos is portrayed as, that seems low …
