Ron Paul may only have single-digit polling numbers, but according to campaign staffers of the Texas Congressman, only Mr. Paul, Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson have sufficient funds for next year's Republican presidential primary.

Today at the National Press Club, Jonathon Bydlak, Mr. Paul's director of fund raising, said that at this stage, the key question is how much money each candidate has available to spend on the primary.

In an analysis of third-quarter campaign finances, Mr. Bydlak reported that once a candidate's outstanding debt is subtracted from their total primary cash on hand, few Republican candidates will be able to provide funding for the primary election cycle without raising additional funds.

The press conference — held by Mr. Paul's staff — came two days after the release of Monday's campaign finance reports.

To date, the only candidates without outstanding debts are Mr. Paul and Sam Brownback.

If the GOP elections were to be held today, the campaigns of Mitt Romney would be in debt by $8 million; Tom Trancredo, by $188,000; and John McCain, by $53,000.

However, Mr. Paul has yet to see his positive financial standing produce a significant number of supporters, based on polling numbers.

Paul campaign chairman Kent Snyder said that Mr. Paul will be spending his funds on advertising in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada. Their goal is to raise their primary funds to $12 million, Mr. Snyder said. He explained that Mr. Paul has a dedicated support network of 55,000 volunteers.

The following is a list of the available funds each Republican candidate currently has at their disposal to spend during the Republican primary:
