1 Million by Midnight? - Bets! - total at midnight EST

[tangent4ronpaul]

Seems like we've been doing better than $100,000 an hour - and there are 6 hours left in the day. We just broke half a mil...

My guess is 1.15 Million.

Amen!

All this money is going to create a STRONG war chest for our boy! :cool::cool:

:D:D

[tangent4ronpaul]

That is a very nice slope!

We've got the good doc's back!!!!

[Banana]

Out of curiosity, does he get to use the leftover for presidential election after the primary?

[TruthAtLast]

I'm up for it. Come on people!

I've donated $100 so far today and will likely donate another $100 later since I just found out that I'm maxed on the Presidential campaign.

[tangent4ronpaul]

Amen!

All this money is going to create a STRONG war chest for our boy! :cool::cool:

:D:D

He's going to need 2.5 Mil +

Maybe less - he's frugal, but that's about what' he's spent on past campaigns.

Thank you very much for your donation of $101.00 to the Committee to Re-Elect Ron Paul.

[kirkblitz]

he can advertise for pres there which could save money if he didnt have enough congress ad money.

[tangent4ronpaul]

So guesses anyone?

What will the final number be? (at midnight - EST)

-n

[sgrooms]

1.26

[Royksopp]

need to push on.

What an effort though. Proves how strong we still are.

Any idea what the records are for congressional fundraising?

[tangent4ronpaul]

common - more guesses please.

[jbuttell]

$848,000.76 by midnight - thats my guess.

If thats the case, why would he put a figure like $650k on his flash page as the goal?

[Shaun]

I WAS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY WRONG.
I am stunned that this is raising the money it is. I'm very happy to see it.
I love being wrong like this.....
I had predicted 50k day.
Amazing...amazing...
Wolf, where are U?

[tangent4ronpaul]

If thats the case, why would he put a figure like $650k on his flash page as the goal?

He does that with the prez page too - picks a goal and then puts benchmarks on the thermometer that increment (normally) after they are passed. Expect them to put a new one up there. But it does give us something to work toward and seems more attainable than some huge number. We enjoy crossing those boundaries.

Interesting idea...

Any more guesses?

Where did you get that number? Also, I'm wondering where did Paul get THAT kind of money in the past. Some source for that would be great, thanks.

[acmegeek]

1.11M...

He's in it to win it!

[jhabers]

923K by Midnight EST

It was either opensecrets or the FEC database of donors/money raised. Been 2-3 weeks, but I was poking around those sites.

[tangent4ronpaul]

btw: that may be for both the primary and the General - I'm not sure how they report those numbers after the election.

I dont think so

[tangent4ronpaul]

Only if he looses - at least that's my understanding. He has to drop out of one race or the other before he can transfer funds from one campaign to the other.

SWEET!:D

I think the motivation behind this ron-endorsed moneybomb will have people shooting for a million. We just need to encourage people to keep spreading the word about donating. We can easily keep this going for a few days by constantly plugging it. 4,840 donors so far (9:50 CST) today alone.

I am guessing $830,000 by midnight. :)

But Ihope it keeps going after midnight east coast. West coast is three hours behind. :)

[Carole]

Looks nice.

The graph looks nice. :)

The congressional campaign is on central time, so right now it is 10:02 PM CT, there are 2 hours left before the daily total resets.

No rules that it has to stop at midnight anyway. :D:D:)
