Uhhhh.. It's not slowing down

[DisabledVet]

Anyone notice the frequency doesn't seem to be slowing...It's been going gangbusters all morning...

Keep this pace up and 7 mill doesn't seem to be a silly figure...

[hopeforamerica]

I've been waiting for a slowdown to plop down my $100, hasn't happened yet.

[RonPaulFever]

I know, it's ridiculous! I can't believe what I'm seeing!

I woke up at 10 am central time and it was around 4.4 million, and it will easily hit 4.8 before noon.

[Ozwest]

No, it hasn't slowed at all. Consistent 220-230,000.00 every hour... on the hour.

[Dorfsmith]

This is so much better than I expected!!! I told my wife that yesterday he would raise 1.7 million. Looks like it will pass that for sure :cool:

[smhbbag]

There have been 12k donations so far, or thereabouts. As we all know, 18k signed up.

Even if we get all the pledges donating, we'll hit ~2.3 mill and hit a wall. On that note, based on signups, the future doesn't look good.

BUT

I can't help but remember the last week of Q3 when we went balls-to-the-wall for 3 days to get $500k, and everybody thought we'd slow to a trickle at the finish. DIDN'T HAPPEN!

Let's do whatever we have to to make this first 12 hours our warmup, and the 18k pledges just the beginning!

[deedles]

I just sent another 300 on top of my 400 last night. My intent was to send about $200... oh well.. :)

To see this awesome amount of donating almost makes me cry for joy.

I keep thinking it's about to slump. I refresh about 15 minutes later, it jumps $40,000. Simply incredible...

I have a man in my meetup that doesn't want to sign up with the pledge but is donating. I'll bet there are plenty like that out there... so we have more than 18K involved in this.

[wfd40]

This is really getting out of hand! Where is all of this support coming from?? It's only half past noon!?

[Ozwest]

I rely on the old fashioned method of paper and pencil. Nice to have official back-up though. hehe

[TheEvilDetector]

There will be at least double the number of people donating, as I've said earlier, the MINIMUM amount donated will be $4M and by the way the strong pace will not just stop at midnight going into the 6th, it will continue for sometime afterwards.

[Mortikhi]

its not even noon where i live =p

[Abobo]

This is madness!
This is SPARTA!!!!

[Brian Bailey]

Think about all of the people who were rushing around to get ready for work this morning and said, "No worries, I'll just wait until I get home tonight."

[belian78]

dont count out the people donating that didnt sign up on the website. I'm one of them, and waiting for my transaction code so I can post it. :D i'm sure we'll slow down significantly this afternoon, but i'm hoping the donations roll in until the late night.

[Matt Collins]

I have a man in my meetup that doesn't want to sign up with the pledge but is donating. I'll bet there are plenty like that out there... so we have more than 18K involved in this.I didn't sign the pledge or anything but I still donated at 12:20am CST

[Snowfire]

I didn't sign up, and neither did several other people I know who are donating today.

We like to pretend that we're not "following the crowd".

;)

[Ozwest]

If it stays steady like this until 5:00 pm., the skies the limit!

Evening pace will be the one to watch, people with a lot of free time on their hands make dangerous financial spammers!

lol

8 mil total raised in the quarter is the ceiling of what i would consider feasible for today, but i would love to be proven wrong.

[Ozwest]

This indicates two things 1) Ron's support is way up on what the pollsters are saying and 2) People are starting to believe he can win this thing, and oh yeah, Ron Paul supporters Rule!

[jason43]

Its moving at about 200K per hour... add that up over the next 11.5 hours or so then less as the time zones wear out.

Its amazing to watch though. There really are a lot of us out there...

I've been randomly writing down numbers to track it through the day.

3,802,640.00 @ 8:04
4,268,534.44 @ 10:14 +226,162.34
4,526,179.95 @ 11:29 +257,645.51
4,661,039.50 @ 12:07 +134,859.55
4,733,294.77 @ 12:30 +72,255.27

[Ozwest]

Any guesses when we'll hit 5,000,000.00? I say 1:51 pm. ET time.

[Jimmy]

This is crazyness....WOOT!!

[granny miller]

The Money Bomb has gone completely nuclear :D

[Tim724]

I just saw the name "Mark Mcgrath" from Los Angeles go across as a recent donor.

Isn't that the name of that fellow in the pop band that sings I Just Wanna Fly? I forget their name, not my kind of music, but interesting none-the-less.

[Ozwest]

I just read on another thread that Alex Jones is pumping up his listeners to donate today. Could get an even bigger surge...

[TheEvilDetector]

The Money Bomb has gone completely nuclear :D

It is definitely a WMD

Mission Accomplished we have found the Weapon of Mass Donation

[manny]

The line on ronpaulgraphs is now VERTICAL!!! :) :) :)

[pguitarb]

Hahahaha Mark McGrath is the singer from sugar ray, shitty band, but a cool guy apparently.

I leave the room to throw something away, I come back, 10 grand more. :D

God bless every freedom-loving patriot in this country! There is hope yet!

[Copperhed51]

Yep, that's Sugar Ray's real name.

IIIII JUST WANNNNT to Fly!

[jason43]

Does anyone have the beginning $ from 12 am eastern? What did we start with?

[james1906]

Hahahaha Mark McGrath is the singer from sugar ray, shitty band, but a cool guy apparently.

Ha! It's like Barry Manilow.

Are you a fan?
Well I am now!

[manny]

I remember those guys - one hit wonders weren't they? I saw an interview they gave, seemed very cool, how they loved having that one hit, better than no hit!

I wonder if Donna D'Errico knew about this 5th thing?

[Brutus]

I like the graphs at http://paulcash.slact.net/, I'm going to add him to my Ron bookmarks folder in addition to RonPaulGraphs.com.

Cool - that's a bit more accurate - I had been looking at the total for Q4 graph.:)

[winston_blade]

Sugar Ray wasn't a one hit wonder. They had a few popular songs if I recall. Mark McGrath does seem kind of random though. I love when stuff like that happens.

[kalami]

heh paulcash projections are nice. if only, Q4 Projection from the last 24 hours $107.87M

[atariman486]

Higher higher higher high high high... put your arms around me baby, put your arms around me baby

(Ashamed I know that song)

[TheEvilDetector]

$2779K at midnight also add $320K offline (which were added by HQ after midnight if I am not mistaken). You need to subtract both of these from total.

[manny]

Maybe they weren't as popular here in England. Or could just be my memory!

I still wish the campaign would make more of the support of Jimmie Vaughan...

[fightfortruth]

I can't believe this. It is amazing what a few can accomplish. Well, I guess it isn't a few anymore. I donated around 10:30am. It was like $4.3 million. I come back to the computer and it is a whopping $4.8. This is miraculous. I haven't done a cartwheel since I was 12 years old but I think I might do one now. Hope I don't out myself in the hospital. :-)

[slantedview]

I've been waiting for a slowdown to plop down my $100, hasn't happened yet.
the "slantedview bump" isn't set to occur until this evening. hold onto your hats :)

[bilbo7733]

Still doing over $200,000 an hour. Keep it going!!!!

[afmatt]

Still doing over $200,000 an hour. Keep it going!!!!

at this rate we'll hit 2 million for the day in around 45 minutes or so (not counting the offline cash)

[Tidewise]

I can't even concentrate on my work this is so exciting. WOW!

[Ron Paul Fan]

We're going to raise more today than we did all of Q2! And more in 5 weeks than we did all of Q3! There is no stopping us! We're on a gravy train with biscuit wheels!!!!!!!!!!!

[davidkachel]

HOLY SH*T!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, you've been asking for a second "shot heard round the world"; I do believe this is it! And in fact, we'd be nuts not to call it that.

My hat is off to the folks who thought this up. Never have I been so delighted to be so completely wrong.

[afmatt]

I can't even concentrate on my work this is so exciting. WOW!

Work? HAH! I can't even tear myself away from the computer here at work to go to LUNCH :P

[jason43]

Just passed $5 million!!!!!!!!
