Donations based upon primary results?

Ok, I had an idea for a fun donation pledge.

The day after each state's primary, donate $10 for the number that Ron Paul finishes.

For example, if Ron Paul finishes 1st in Iowa, donate $10. If he finishes 3rd donate $30.

This would give him a boost after each state election until super Tuesday.

It would be incentive for us, the grassroots, to give Ron Paul a good finish in each state.

Say 100k people did this...if he finishes 1st in Iowa he gets a win and a million toward his campaign. If he finishes 3rd he still does well and gets 3 million toward going on and doing better. If, for some nefarious reason, he finishes last he would suddenly get a $7-8 million boost by his supporters which would give the media pause as to what just happened.

why would you donate less money if he won than if he took 3rd?

I would think something like a dollar amount for every so many votes. In Iowa for example, $1 for every 100 votes. If he can get 30,000 votes, it is $300. If that seems steep, maybe $1 for every 500. In places NH, where he could get 200,000 votes, maybe it should be $1 for every 1000 votes, or 50000 votes.

Another option is to do $50 for 1st, $40 for 2nd, $30 for 3rd, etc...reward winning, not losing.
