Texas Rep. Ron Paul will have the largest audience in his longshot bid for the Republican presidential nomination tonight when he joins Tom Cruise and the legendary punk rock band the Sex Pistols as guest on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

Paul, the only Republican presidential candidate to oppose U.S. involvement in Iraq, will attend a $2,000 per person fundraising reception in the Hollywood Hills after the taping, a campaign aide said.

Paul's "Tonight Show" appearance comes a day after his campaign began airing television commercials in New Hampshire, site of the nation's first primary.

The Paul campaign raised $5 million from July through September, with 78 percent collected online, The New York Times reported.

"It's time to spend it," Jesse Benton, a campaign spokesman, told The Times.

In addition to his fundraising success, Paul is also rising in the polls. He was in a statistical tie for fifth with 5 percent in the then-nine- candidate Republican field in a Gallup Poll conducted Oct. 12-14. In New Hampshire, Paul was in a statistical tie for fourth with 7 percent in a survey conducted for The New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College.

I thought he gave a very good interview. He's not the best public speaker in the world, but he handled himself very well in that format.

Hey, don't tell the neocons on this forum that, or Glenn Beck, Hannity or O'Reilly - they'll have heart attacks.

The best line from the other night?

Hannity, "this poll is dumb"

Paul, "it's a Fox poll."

Have no doubt, it will be absolutely terrifying for the Neocons if Paul can win one of the early primaries and stay close through Super Tuesday. This is why I would love to see him win the nomination, just to show the Beck's, Hannity's and O'Reilly's of the world up.
