JUST GOT OFF PHONE with Campaign

[purepaloma]

Put in another last minute Contribution.

They said just 15 minutes to midnight they were about 50K short of 6 Million.

BUT THE SERVERS ARE DOWN...........now and the IT Guys were screaming !

so don't expect much more than 6 Million IMO.

Lady... you do realize we beat $6 million long time ago? We even beat $6.2 record of hillary... you do realize that right?

[DJ RP]

offline donations were added, they might not count for the days totals

[Coola]

I wish we would get a final estimate... going by what the widget started at, we broke 6 million, yet going by the graphs we didn't scratch 1 million.

I am so confuzed.

[Jwaksman]

Yeah, our final total is about $6.4 Mil.

[Richandler]

Yah the campaign is on crack if they say we didn't beat 6 Million.

[jmcmsu]

yeah we were at like 11,552 or something at the beginning of the day... we beat 6.2 million... congrats everyone

[ProfNo]

I think with off line we beat 6mil.

[DrKevorkian]

depends on if you count the offline, b/c online we got less than 6

I'll keep posting this until everybody on the boards reads it:

if anyone else talks to the campaign, make sure they get the story straight -- we beat Hillary.

[Revolutn]

Even with the 400k off line 'controversy' b4 everything crashed....it showd the daily total at 6.05m

[BeFranklin]

We beat Hillary using her own standards.
We beat Kerry using his own standards.

The ticker is well over 6 million from when it started. Its a shame some idiot updated the ticker in the middle of the donation drive, and now it has two different totals on it.

[purepaloma]

I'm am ONLY REPEATING what i heard EXACTLY from a guy at the Campaign !

[Pimpin Turtle Dot Com]

We had 6.4 million dollars...

The widget has a bug. It didn't count the offline donations yet. They just installed the new widget today.... it's bound to have some slight problems. Things like "weekly total money raised" didn't update in real time while you were on them either.


Doesn't matter - we DID raise about $6.4 Million on the 16th. THAT we do know.

[VTforRP]

Ya the last time the taskbar counter updated it was at 6.05mil. The offical website says that now as well. Online alone passed 6mil.

[Menthol Patch]

The Tea Party is OVER, but lets start a NEW PARTY TONIGHT and keep on donating! Let's PARTY ALL NIGHT LONG by CELEBRATING and DONATING! Lets see how much we can raise on Dec. 17th!

[VTforRP]

i take it back, now the widget says 6.03mil....i don't even know anymore. GOOD JOB ALL

[UtahApocalypse]

Lady... you do realize we beat $6 million long time ago? We even beat $6.2 record of hillary... you do realize that right?

Wjat part of "Got of the phone with campaign" do you not understand??

Seems most people think that they know more and more accurate then the campaign staff that have been actually doing the transactions all day and have access to the real time numbers and data.

[JaredR26]

Thing is, they added offline donations like 2-3 days ago. I think it was friday. That means that MOST of the offline donations they added today were FROM today, and therefore are valid. Spread this around- I'm sure someone can verify that they added offline donations a few days ago.

[GorGor]

A screenshot at RPgraphs, I hope something is outta wack over there, but just the same, $6,023,xxx is still pretty good!!!

Mainly cause it is crap. Every time we have a money bomb, somebody "just got off the phone". They arent going to take the time in middle of taking in huge donations to shoot the crap. I know, I have worked this kind of setup for Jeb Bush in his last election. Offline does count, we hit about 6.4 million. Get used to it already.

[Jagwarr]

Why would anyone think offline phone donations or even checks mailed dated today would not count? Seems to me it's up to the campaign to record the numbers as they see fit. What about items bought in the store? Do we know if those figures were included in the $400K?

It's not like a horse race with absolute winners and losers or anything like that.
If they added $400K certainly $300K was from today so we have the record and all is good.

Why do so many want to use graphs instead of the offical campaign home page? Did that many of you bet the under or what?

It was the 14th. Not that much but it was added in.

[Mani]

We got $6million.

It's already on the AP wire we got $6million, so I"m sure that will spread all over that we raised $6million

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071217/ap_on_el_pr/paul_fundraising


There will surely be a campaign announcement tomorrow evening after they do all the number crunching.

somebody tell them about number of donors too!!

[JacobLyles]

I'm sure they'll give a press release for us soon.

[Spike]

Why would they add offline donations and then not count them in the final total? doesn't make sense

So the AP says 6 Million and that is all that matters in terms of publicity.

MSM media says $6 million
therefore it is $6 million

People supporting this campaign should know better than most that what MSM says, is.
;)
Thats a nice round number easy to regurgitate
and almost a 50% increase over Nov 5th. Quite amazing

[tomjammarsh]

I called the campaign. They confirmed we passed 6 million. I tried donating at 11:50, but it didn't work. I asked if I did donate later tonight if it would be added and I got an unconfirmed "yes", that it WOULD be added to yesterdays total.

Waaahooo!

[Primbs]

The needed to really upgrade the servers. This was really big.

[mtmedlin]

Las time they added in all the offlines on Nov. 4th that way they wouldnt get mixed in or look like we were trying to inflate the numbers. This time they did the same thing because offline was added on the 14th. It was that much but why would they add a little and not all. The 400K had to have come from today, therfore it will count to the total that will be announced tomorrow. Overall it will be arround $6.4 million.
