Posted at 2:13 PM on December 17, 2007 by Tom Scheck (1 Comments)

The Associated Press and the Washington Post just finished profiles of all of the "front runners" in the presidential race. I thought some folks would be interested in reading about the candidates so I'm providing links to the profiles below. I'm also providing links to the candidate profile pages at the New York Times.

Of course the guy that has set then broke the highest one day online fundraising record is not in the list, he also is the total 1 day record holder.

Ron Paul Raises $6 Million in One Day (12/17/07)
Candidate has most successful fundraising day in American political history

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA -- Congressman Ron Paul’s presidential campaign had a record fundraising day yesterday.

In a 24-hour period on December 16, the campaign raised $6.026 million dollars, surpassing the one-day record of $5.7 million held by John Kerry.

During the day, over 58,000 people contributed to Dr. Paul’s campaign, including 24,940 first-time donors. Over 118,000 Americans have donated to the campaign in the fourth quarter.

The $6 million one-day total means the campaign has raised over $18 million this quarter, far exceeding its goal of $12 million.
"We have the right message: freedom, peace and prosperity," said Ron Paul 2008 campaign chairman Kent Snyder. "We also have the right candidate: Dr. Ron Paul."

Congressman Paul will be campaigning in Iowa today and will be holding a press conference at 12:45 pm at the Des Moines Marriott in the Des Moines Room.
