Focus more on winning the nomination. If Ron Paul loses the nomination, it won't matter who gave what. Become a delegate in your state!
Actually, when looking at the numbers, it appears that your table is statistically insignifiant. McCain, Romney, and Gulliani have large amounts from people who did not specify their employer, whereas Paul did not.
Cherry picking information to try to make a point?
