Ron Paul got 10% in Iowa.

Assume he has the same support across the nation. That's 30 million people.

Suppose 1/4 of those delivered 100$ into his pocket for a moneybomb.

That's 750 million dollars.

Seven. Hundred. Fifty. MILLION.

Now, I'm not saying we're going to have to, but if we DID, we could easily afford a third party run. Just sayin'...

Bad assumptions. You're assuming that 100% of the US population is voting age. And that 100% vote. And that 100% vote Republican.

I wouldn't be surprised if whoever wins the general election spends $100M though.

Maybe - but how do you promote it to these people if there
will be no big advertising to make the moneybomb heard?

There's too many money bombs which takes away from the gimicky aspect that makes it both popular and effective.
It would be very effective if who ever is in charge of this or Ron Paul's website itself offically endorsed a money bomb.

Mod's?
