The math looks good so far folks. We haven't even gotten to the main donors, who will be firing their guns tomorrow. YES! We can do this!

Math is bad! Many of us haven't been able to get donations to go through! We have overwhelmed the servers which is a good sign!

I've been waiting almost 20 minutes now...

Actually, my calculation was $58,138.99 in 20 minutes, which comes in just shy of $4.2M over 24 hours. Not bad, though. I'm hoping this bad boy breaks 10M...I want something spectacular. Going to donate for the first time today.

Do different time zones come into play at all? Are Central, Mountain, and Pacific time zone donors donating now, or waiting 'til it's midnight in their neck of the woods?

The midnight to 3 am donations are not usually indicative of the overall donations. The 7 am - 10 am slot however is...

Donations will skyrocket when people wake up, that is the way every moneybomb has happened. We are on pace to KILL the record right now.

Historically, money bombs have gone exponential later in the day, when the campaign sends an email to subscribers to remind them of the bomb. Projections now may understate the potential for BTO.

I don't think you can used the first 15 minutes of a money bomb to extrapolate anything.

Don't expect that rate to hold up for 24 hours. Of course the first 30min/ hour we will get a faster donation rate because all the hardcore supporters are donating right away.

ehh, look at past graphs... they're not flat projections. Better to find a time on a graph and see where we were at that time during the previous moneybomb and compare it to how much we've raised so far on this moneybomb.

Yes, indeed. But that's the point. A conservative projection now means that we will be blown away with the real total. I think it's very well possible we could reach 7, or even 8 million with this thing. Or more. Who knows, the sky is the limit. We'll see tomorrow afternoon when people really start unloading....

I think we'll get around 3 mil. Which isn't bad.

I'd be really pleased with 2 mil, which would best all our other fundraising drives this cycle.

The fact that we are on pace to break 4.8 million in the first 30 minutes says a lot, that is the very hardcore supporters donating instantly in their time zone on the East Coast... that is amazing. We're going to wake up and see the totals and everyone will donate AGAIN in a lot of cases... some people in the Nov 5 moneybomb of 2007 were watching the graph in the chat and donated the max over the course of the day, like gambling in a casino... haha

Don't forget the fact that the Tea Party money bomb was on a Sunday. More people could stay up and donate at midnight. November 5th, I believe, was on a work-night as this one is, so it's still possible we can beat the Tea Part one, as more people are gonna wait until they wake up to donate.

What's the record from '08? What's our highest this year? Or list several of the highest from '08. Also remember the bubble hadn't burst yet in '08, so more had paper money to shell out. :)

No. The money bomb started on Sunday at midnight. Not Monday at midnight.

I'm sorry I wasn't around to donate 4 years ago! I was a politically naive fool who supported Mitt Romney because I thought he would be best for the economy. Saw the light from the '08 Crisis and now I'd walk and lay over hot coals for Ron. I love him deeply and his philosophy and courage made me love America more than I ever have before. (But he also made me fear our future more than ever before, but he who is prepared shall not fear!)
