Who voted 1-2?

I voted for 9+ million. This is going to be an historic day. There's a revolution going on and I'm just happy to be a part of it.

honestly, 2-4... It's just too close to the holidays, and most of the people that donated on the 5th were people that weren't exactly swimming in cash in the first place.

$2 million, puts us over $12 million. Huck will be getting a bunch of negative press about his record as Governor. At the same time, the media will be talking about our fundraising haul.

Yeah, I think it will be very hard to top what we did already, BUT, we DO have a lot of NEW supporters since then. Let's see. I would guess we'll match the last amount. If we get more, I'll be very happy.

10 Million.
Get used to it.
Holidays don't matter, what matters is that 35,000 will pledge and 70,000 will donate.
Simple math.
Get everyone focused on it...
Let's go.

I can state with 99% confidence that it will be between 6 and 18 million, yes thats right I've run models with more than 1% chances of occurring near 18 mil!!! that being said I expect it to be closer to 8ish

Yeah, I don't know why you would predict less than November 5th. We've gained more donors since then. How many we'll find out on the 16th, but I have a feeling it's going to be a huge day. Holidays schmolidays, people have been saving up for this for over a month. We're going to shock a lot of people, including some of our own!

I'm guessing we hit 10+ I'm basing this off of the excitement I see building in ron paul supporters - the 16th will be a day for the record books ladies and gents.

Your all vastly under rating this. It has a longer to spread the word, people are gettin excited from the last one and several large financail newsletter have urged their members to donate and those might be a lot more than $100.

$5-$6 Million. I sure hope you all prove me wrong. I very much want $20 Million this Quarter, but I'm very skeptical.

Well, that is comforting, I guess. :) I just hope that your model was more sophisticated than

return 6000000 + rand(12000000);

We NEED to do better than the 5th or the media can view it as a negative saying that Ron Paul's support has decreased. This has been hyped a lot, and we need to deliver.

I want the Blimp to fly more than the next guy, but I feel as though we are neglecting the Tea Party big time.


-- The Tea Party Myspace page needs a better background so that we can read comments:
http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=46784

-- I believe that we messaged all 70,000 of Paul's MySpace friends about the 5th, but that is not being done with the TeaParty.

-- I belive that we were contacting thousands of his Facebook friends about the 5th, but that is not being done with the Tea Party.

-- We have not had any *spectacular* Tea Party videos come out in over 2 weeks.


We only have 11 days to go guys. We need to kick it into high gear.

QFT We need to forget about arguing about the blimp and get out the word about the tea party. This is the really important event that could make or break us given all of the coverage it has gotten. I we pull in 10mil two weeks before the primaries, I think it will propel Ron Paul to 12% plus or minus 2%. Remember that the bump in the polls that took us to 8% occurred right after the 5th.

I just remember seeing "Remember Remember the 5th of November" posted on every YouTube video or news article comment that there was. This is not the case with the Tea Party.

Won't getting the blimp up support the teaparty? Cause everyone will be googling Ron Paul and see the teaparty stuff.
