Please don't wait... the servers may be overloaded by then...
:(

[DjLoTi]

I doubt the servers will be overloaded.

I will really enjoy seeing the huge last-minute surge for the lucky person to donate the official 500,000th dollar.

perhaps the campaign could give out a prize for who ever ends up giving the donation that puts us over $500,000 ... ala apple and their 1billionth download!

That way, as it gets nearer to the goal... a mad rush would ensue.

That is seriously--seriously--a good idea. However, it would likely need to be an intangible, such as a personal 15 minute call from Ron Paul. The FEC would probably shit itself blue if they gave away actual goods.

You'll have to take me at my word when I say that the FEC are shitheads when it comes to restrictions, and I know this personally.

For 500K it better be a grainy night vision video of him and Paris.

John Edwards is doing a drawing from this week's contributions to win a 5-day trip to New Orleans with the campaign team.

[Salamando]

When did this counter start?

[Razmear]

If they announce who it is, then some Ron Paul supporter can buy him/her a hat or something independent of the 'official campaign'.

$65,750 to go!

[Razmear]

When did this counter start?

It started with 7 days left I think.

[Perry]

Friday around 4:00pm eastern time that counter is going to be spinning.

[JosephTheLibertarian]

if its been going at this pace all throught Q3..... that's over 10 mill

[V-rod]

It hasn't, I still believe it'll be between somewhere between 4million - 4.5million

how do you know it hasn't?

We been averaging around 50k per day in online donations, so 50k * 3 months. With the additional dinner fundraisers maybe it'll bring it up to 6mil with luck. I'm probably off but not by much.

Where are you getting the 50k figure?

did you hear about the contest to "win" a debate watch party with bill clinton? yes you get to sit with bill, while hilary is in the debate and make fun of her, and you KNOW thats whats going to go on.

lol it IS bill clinton u know!

[JosephTheLibertarian]

well... if RP receives mostly 50-100 dollars per donor, this means that 5000-10,000 people donated to reach the 500,000$ alone! not counting the bulk of his contributions. most supporters of a campaign tend to not contribute... so there's a lot of supporters out there

You know if the RP campaign did this, there would be some tech wiz with a 100 PC computer farm, all loaded up with credit card info ready to hit send, as the final few thousand approached, lol. And yes, it would be on YouTube.

I had not heard that, but it would be funny is an amzingly beautiful woman won. Hillary would make him renege, or sit Chelsea between them.

[Johnnybags]

for 90 straight days, if we increase the base we can be surprisingly competetive for being relative plebians. Ask anyone that is preparing to give you a present for birthday,holidays etc to donate it to Ron, it will make them think. Especially if you are not known as the politically active type. Heck, Ron has not spent on TV,Radio yet i do not think. He has to have a decent warchest to do so. I am gonna laugh when Romney makes another deposit to his campaign. He is spending tons and gaining zippo traction. He is saturated.
