Ron Paul says he's broken one-day online fundraising record

Rep. Ron Paul, the libertarian Republican presidential candidate from Texas, says today that he's broken a record: the record for online fundraising in a single day during the pre-convention primary process.

According to Paul's campaign, he raised more than $2.7 million online in 16 hours that ended at 4 p.m. ET. The campaign called that "the largest single-day online primary fundraising effort by a presidential candidate in United States election history."

Paul is an outspoken opponent of abortion and the war in Iraq, and wants to abolish the Internal Revenue Service. He's become something of an Internet phenomenon and raised $5 million overall in the third quarter this year. The campaign aims to raise $12 million in the quarter ending Dec. 31.

Am I right in thinking that he is in fact on course for beating the all time record that's set at $3.1m? That will be even more impressive!

He became an internet phenomenon back in the second quarter. It is much more than that now =P

I think thats Sonny Liston, the "Rudy Giuliani" of his time.

Ali didn't have a chance against Liston, the "baddest man on the planet" in the early 60's, or so the experts all said...

If you mean Romney's big day last spring, that wasn't online. Those were only pledges and took days, weeks or months to get checks from those donors, assuming they all paid up on their pledge to Romney.

Nope, we already beat Kerry's big two-day haul after Super Tuesday in 2004.

This is truly amazing, even to hardened political junkies.

In Taoism, this is known as wu wei, or effortless action. It is the natural balancing course of nature. :D
