Republican US presidential hopeful Ron Paul's campaign has made a plea for raising another 23 million dollars to win the nomination.

Kent Snyder, Paul's campaign chairman described the progress they had made in 11 months as phenomenal and added that 'the dedication, creativity, generosity, and just plain hard work by you and tens of thousands of other Americans have already made history'.

"But we are not finished making history! First, Ron Paul becomes the Republican nominee. Second, Dr. Paul becomes President Paul. Third, our country becomes America again," Snyder continued.

Paul's campaign ended up raising nearly 19 million dollars in the fourth quarter after setting a goal of 12 million.

Paul who has been running a multi state campaign for months is likely to win the GOP nomination if he succeeds in the New Hampshire primary.
