David Paul cheers on brother from Ottawa Co. home TONY TAGLIAVIA His presidential-hopeful brother just raised more money in a single day than John Kerry did after he won his Party's nomination in 2004. David Paul calls it "mind-boggling." "It's something that nobody expected," he told 24 Hour News 8. "I know he didn't." "He" is Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas). His campaign raised $6.2 million Sunday - all online. It's a sum so large even the candidate is asking questions. "Do we have enough time to harness this momentum and all this money coming in?" Ron Paul said Monday. "Can we figure out the best way to spend the money in order to get the vote out?" Ron Paul's campaign says the average donation was about $50.
"He doesn't have all the $2,300 donors that some of the other ones get. I haven't sent him $2,000 yet," David Paul said, laughing. The two grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Ron Paul went to Texas to serve in the Air Force; David went to Ohio, then Michigan to be a pastor. David now works part-time at a Grand Rapids-area Lutheran church. Ron Paul told his brother he never thought he'd still be in the race at this point. The donors have kept him in.
