Better donate again. Some names get missed they can only show so many without falling way behind. It's basically a donation every 1.5 seconds right now.
I was able to scrounge up $95.48 that I didn't think I had! Feels good to be a part of it, even though that's such a small amount.
I hope he does make it to the next level. The subjects that Ron Paul brings up do deserve to be addressed because they are important to our country. It would be very refreshing to have a candidate that isn't a copycat of another one.
I know a lot of Christians who like what they've heard so far, but just aren't into politics enough to really keep it in the front of their mind. I think these money bombs and media attention like this really help to remind them and make them think. Heck, I wasn't even paying much attention until the November 5th bomb, but since then I've been looking into it for myself and have become 100% convinced that this is what we need for now. Sometimes you have to put aside your religion and just think about the basics of humanity.
Hitting the $5 million mark for the day in just a few minutes. The rate of people donating has spiked dramatically twice this evening. I expect it will likely spike quite a bit around the time of the nightly news...
$16.8 million. $5.24 million today Nearly 49,000 donations. Still listening to RPRRadio.com (Ron Paul Revolution). They have this gorgeous chick hosting the show right now, she's from Seattle. Awesome callers too. Talking about what we need to do to prepare for State Conventions, and the National Convention. About the European and Canadian Ron Paul movements. Paul appealing to people in the entertainment industry. Great topics. We're on track to beat 5.7 million. Amazing. John Kerry raised a best $5.7 million in one day (apparently Clinton's record is bunk), but that was on and offline. I'm guessing today's offline must be at least another $100k. Hottest Donation States per capita are (in order) ... Alaska New Hampshire Idaho Montana Wyoming Nevada Oregon Arizona Washington State Colorado New Mexico Utah Tennesee Note, these are PER CAPITA. Texas, Florida and California are the biggest donor states by total donations.
Huckabeans turned off their live counter apparently. I don't blame them. It's hard to pump up a $200k day on this particular weekend.
Wow! The number of people donating per hour is spiking as predicted and hitting a high mark/peak for the day! Currently $5.5 million for the day from over 52,000 individual donors! Edit: Check that - looks like http://paulcash.slact.net/ isn't updating right now... Looks like donations are about to break $6 million for the day!
They just dumped in offline donations to the tune of $400k. $17.5 million. I think we're almost at the $6 million mark.
1 hour left to reach $17,752,561.00 and beat HC's unofficial 1 day record for total donations in a day. It's very much within reach.
I'm trying to donate and the website keeps timing out. Never mind finally after 4 tries got my donation to go through!!! Contribution received! Thank you very much for your donation to the Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign. Your donation will allow us to expand and grow our campaign.

I just got back from the movies a few minutes ago and my jaw dropped to the floor when I saw the ticker. It is at $17,711,782.65 right now. AMAZING!!!!
The graph on the number of people donating per hour is skyrocketing. It looks like roughly 4,250 people per hour right now.
