After some slow overnight hours, the donation pace is picking up, steadily but surely.
I am extremely confident that this bomb will reach $1 million by noon, because I think the promotion is going to have paid off in the sense that folks will wake up or be at work and realize "wow, this is happening."
I think it is quite possible that we will be at $1.5 million by noon, but that depends on whether or not our donation pace gets to 200-300k per hour for the several hours prior to that (it has happened in the past, and that's when it really starts picking up).
If that happens, we will be on track with the November 5th, 2007 bomb, and then thereafter, given our bigger campaign donor lists this go-around, we may be able to exceed that total.
If people come back around to donate a second time, which was a big part of the Tea Party Bomb's success, the total could also go higher.
All in all, I think this day is on track to reach at least 3 or 3.5 million. But I understand the frustration of some who want the ticker to rise faster... give it time! It's starting to happen.
Keep the faith! For liberty!
