Well, guess he will have to do without my donation. But who
is surprised?
Ron Paul supporters on the net decided to try to get everybody to give him a bunch of money today in an attempt to get more media attention. So far, he's raised about $2.5 million since midnight last night. (He had about$2.7 million for the quarter at midnight and he's at around $5.2 million for the quarter right now.) So if you can, today's a good day to donate.

Oh come on Ray, his position on the IRS alone has to be worth a c-note.
Up to 2.6 million right now!! I predict about $3 million at least by midnight.

Look how far out of the way the corospondent goes to say they can't confirm things as if Ron Paul's people would be liars.
I like Ron Paul. Too bad he has no chance.
$3.4 million! wow this is way more than i expected
Paul has now raised more money in one day than anyone else in the race.
Well, he suffers from premature contribution.
Creating an event and causing a one-day giving frenzy is no feat. Sustained fund-raising is the only thing that'll give him the over $100 million it'll take to be a serious contender.
Yeah because everyone does it.
This wasn't done by Paul's campaign.
Well, he needs about 20 more days like today then...
Yeah because everyone does it.
This wasn't done by Paul's campaign.
You'll have to excuse Yoni. He can't recognize a candidate who supports the Cons ution and has never deviated from that.
It isnt? Even though all ron paul supporters are bots and spammers?Do you think any of the other candidates could drum up enough support to get all of their supporters to donate on one day?
Ron Paul offers what most Republicans purport to support. Now if they could only recognize that...
40k short of four million with four minutes to go.
Romney feels like the reluctant choice. But will the Bible Belt sit it out instead of support a Utah Bay State heretic?
Does the radical/fundamentalist/extreme "religious" right still hold the Repugs by the short-n-curlies?
Didn't the RR get the message that hypocritical Rove, etc played the RR like a violin while really thinking they were stupid? Politics is a filthy, dirty game, much like the filthy lucre the venal religious right wallows in.
How do you post with your arms handcuffed behind your back?
Republican front-runners, we have a problem....
Republican Raises Stunning $3 Million Online in Less Than 24 Hours
The 08 Ralph Nadar?
By Z. BYRON WOLF
Mark it down: A landmark moment entered the annals of political fundraising Nov. 5, 2007.
ABC NewsIf Texas Republican Ron Paul's Web site fund-raising meter is to be believed, the Libertarian candidate, who has lagged in the polls but raised as much money as top-tier candidates, passed $3 million in online fund-raising in less than 24 hours.
When he repeats the feat 10 more times then, the front-runners can start sweating.
If you actually want me to judge the seriousness of presidential candidates based on their ability to raise money, let's take a look at the numbers. According to Open Secrets, Ron Paul has managed to raise about $8 million. That is considerable, and today's fundraising is impressive. Until, that is, you compare it to what other candidates have managed to raise.
Hillary Clinton - $90 million
Barack Obama - $80 million
John Edwards - $30 million
Mitt Romney - $62 million
Rudy Giuliani - $47 million
John McCain - $32 million
Fred Thompson - $12 million
With the exception of Thompson, who entered the race late, the other candidates have raised considerably more money, and poll more than the margin of error. If anything, these fundraising numbers should make the Thompson campaign nervous. They certainly should not be a cause for celebration among the Paulbots.
There are two major reasons the Ron Paul candidacy should not be taken seriously. One is Ron Paul, the other is his supporters. The evidence against Ron Paul is very, very, very, very, very disturbing. Paul finds common cause with conspiracy theorists, white supremacists and lounge singers and he is using the Republican presidential primary to advance his message, not his candidacy.
In my opinion, that makes Ron Paul a disgraceful politician. Paul was elected as a Republican, campaigns as a Republican, takes money from the Republican party and is given a platform for his message during Republican debates. And yet he’s repeatedly stated that once the primary is over, he will not campaign on behalf of the Republican nominee, endorse the Republican nominee or vote for the Republican nominee.
What kind of man takes money and attention from a party when it helps him, then spits in their face after getting what he wants? This en lement at ude, when looked at within the context of who supports Paul and what Paul believes, does not reflect well on the character of the man who claims to be the "hope for America."
He got my $$. First time ever in my life.
