Mountain and pacific time zones still donating

How are we going to figure out what came in on November 5TH. That was the goal and money is still to be counted. Still 70 minutes to go??? even longer if we count Alaska and Hawaii. Any thoughts??

The campaign will figure that out from reciepts I would think..

Alaska gives a surprising amount of money too.

Not my point. Example california didn't start donating last night till 3 am Eastern standard time its 11 pm there now. They still have another hour left. Look at the names on the counter lots of california addresses????

As I've said the point of the fundraiser day was a 24-hour day.. not a 27-hour day. It's better this way, trust me. If the FEC counts it as this day at the end of the quarter, cool.. but as for the AP and the media attention, it needs to be focused on what we raised in the 24 hours.. which was over 4.2 million.

...and we continue to pwn as the total reaches well over $7 million.....

We need to reach the 8 million. :)

I don't really get your reasoning. The whole idea was to see how much money we could raise on November 5. So why wouldn't we allow every timezone a full 24 hours (the whole day of Nov. 5) to make their donations? Doing otherwise would be wrong. Since the West coast people started later (according to their timezone), they should be allowed to finish later (according to their timezone). Right?
