GOP presidential candidate and Air Force veteran Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) continues to highlight his strong support from members of the armed forces as he hits the campaign trail following his third-place finish in Iowa. And the numbers continue to bear him out, according to research by the Center for Responsive Politics.

This latest analysis updates those figures to cover the period between January to September 2011, and will be further updated to include the fourth quarter after the candidates file their year-end reports on Jan. 31.

This is old data, though. Won't get the new stuff til the end of the month.

Still look how Romney, Gingrich, and Santorum are all in conspicuously round dollar amounts.

I wish there was a "military wife or family" breakdown.

I thought so too, but it was a new story ... so I figured it was worth re-posting.
