ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA—Republican presidential candidate and Texas congressman Ron Paul made US electoral history yesterday with an unprecedented single-day fundraising haul. In 24 hours, 36,672 unique donors contributed over $4 million online, and over 200,000 offline, for more than $4.2 million to win the 2008 Republican presidential nomination.

Over 20,000 were first-time donors.

Today is the second-largest fundraising day for the Ron Paul campaign, as donations amounting to $300,000 were still steadily streaming in from 4,000 additional donors. 71 percent are first-time campaign contributors.

Only 1.9 percent of the donors have reached their FEC maximum contribution level.

__________________________________

Please help me do the math here: When it says that 200,00 are Off-Line donations, that would mean there is at least $5,000,000 ($25 x 200k=5mm) left if not much much more, not reported as of yet, someone find out. comments please!

Sure there could be more from offline mailed in donations, but let them come in as the postal service delivers them :)

The 200k offline donations were those that were plugged into the thermometer that day, not those that were recieved that day.
