Tea Party Excitement Hour 1

[nlke182]

I know a lot of people cant wait for the clock to strike midnight tonight. How much do you see Paul getting in the first hour? I believe he got something like $200,000 the first hour of the 5th. My guess is $2,000,000 by 1am 12/16 EST.

I would like at least enough to reach $12 Million.

I'm actually waiting until 1am CST just to make sure the donation is on the right day. I'm actually going to buy some stuff from the store too and cut back a little bit on my direct donation(still over $100). With the store stuff it should be near the original donation I wanted to make.

That would be incredible and would surely be the largest fundraising total for an hour. Probably a big stretch though.

Maybe its a stretch but I know a lot of people are itching to donate as soon as it hits midnight.

I'm curious to how many first time donors we will get. Has anyone here recently joined the cause and not donated anything yet?

[OferNave]

Best time to donate is 3-6am EST when load is lowest.

Personally, I'm dying of anticipation of the Nov 5 vs Dec 16 graph that will hopefully exist on ronpaulgraphs.com, so we can compare the curves in real time. :)

Remember to donate past 12:01am EST 12/16 to be safe :)

[Chomsky]

Being a Saturday night, I wouldn't be surprised to see the total crack 1 million very quickly, for sure by 2am.

He does have a very good point. Last time (the 5th of Nov.) there were a few who donated a bit too soon.

[nlke182]

Some will donate a bit too soon today too but what can you do. Not everyone is on this forum.

Early Donations (don't count) - 180k
Hour 1 - 1 million
Hour 2-3 - 1 million
Hour 3-6 - 1 million
Hour 6-9 - 1 million
Hour 9-12 - 1 million
Hour 12-15 - 1 million
Hour 15-18 - 1 Million
Hour 18-21 - 1 million

I think we will average about $325k an hour...about $5500 a minute
