As Kasz has pointed out, money tends to follow popularity, and not the other way around. I mean, Barack Obama more or less came out of nowhere (Illinois State Senator, Illinois US Senator for less than one whole term) against McCain, who was fairly well-entrenched and nominally should have been far better connected with campaign money than Obama was.

Ron Paul is actually less popular than he is made out to be. The issue is that he has a very well-mobilized group of supporters (which is why you see disproportiante support for him on a lot of websites on the internet), but in the end he cannot command real mainstream appeal, which is why his chances never really get up there

Yeah, libretarians tend to skew into the Tech Savy/educated, Money making... and although you couldn't tell it on these forums.  Atheists.
