Not sure if you noticed it or not, but the Ron Paul counter always flashes these numbers prior to the actual counting of money. Didn't know if this is a glitch or what, but every time that I've seen the counter, these numbers seem to come up for about 1/2 a sec prior to the actual numbers coming up.

It's not a glitch. When you design things in Flash (the counter is a flash applet) you have to have put numbers there, like a "placeholder", before the flash applet loads the actual numbers from the server dynamically.

Basically, whoever made the flash applet, used the numbers "32,123,456" as the placeholders. He could have done 00,000,000 if he wanted, or 11,111,111.
