Guys, we've got some great ideas for moneybombs flying around here. The anniversary moneybomb, the Fox moneybomb, the tax moneybomb, the surprise moneybomb, the power hour...

I say instead of choosing just one to go by, we go with every one. Let the people pick which one they like and go all out on it.

Will we raise millions in one day? No. But we'll be raising hundreds of thousands per day.

Basicially, we will never make another world record, and the media will cover the moneybombs less and less. I say we just push every moneybomb we can so we have day after day of outraising the others.

Media complicity is a luxery that Ron doesn't have, which is why money bombs are ineffective. A continued, sustained stream of donations is the only way Ron can plan, project and keep up the good fight. We all want Ron to win, so we all need to donate often.

Money bombs are a distraction and actually hurt the campaign because they withhold money from Ron when he needs it. Just like a business, you can't operate on boom/bust cycles - you need sustained income.

Without media complicity, it's just an egocentric activity.

The money bomb was a fine idea until the media proved it wasn't going to be complicit. We need to adapt if we are to win Ron the presidency. If people really want to help Ron, they'll throw money at his campaign often. Instead of talk and websites of money bombs, there should be talk and websites of continued contributions. Throw some goals in there such as "X dollars for Super Bowl ads" and you help Ron spread the message.
