I'm downloading the November 5th press conference video and will be cutting out just the part where Jonathan Bydlak explains about the Hillary one day total not being a 24 hour bit and will be uploading the smaller file later for people to use in response if the $6.2 million claim pops up.

maybe xao + spouse?
[confirmed. nevermind]
Anyway, phone totals aren't in yet.
Wait til tommorow. NOT everyone trusts doing online donations.
Why can't some people grasp that???
e.o.f.

It was almost 6m on the widget at 12am (only online donations). Surely at least a couple hundred thousand was also raised offline. Why isn't that counted?
Just got this in my private messages.

Nice huh?
it will be counted, the important part is we broke the record for one day fundraising. its easier to just go with the online donations in the old media. they'll screw it up anyway. they're still screwing up the total for 11/5 and they're gonna screw this one up too. just so long as we are now the record holders, I'm content.

I remember people predicting that the donors/pledges ratio would be higher than it was on Nov 5th, which was 2.3. It turned out to be about 1.5. Oh well.
nice, I believe xao may have had too much "tea" at the party today.

Well if this is correct only 6,025,000.00 then the widget is wrong still has +400k extra added on.
Still a remarkable number.
Personally, I think we should stop going along with the media's made-up figures and expose this for what it really is: A one-day fundraising record!!
Quit playing their game. They make the rules to their game and will always win. We have enough support, that we can override their rules!
Enough is enough! It was a cool goal to set for ourselves, to beat Hillary's fake fundraising statistics, but this ISN'T A LOSS! In the real world of Federal Election laws and records of donations, we just hit "TILT" on the machine!
And, while I don't expect the media to accurately report the facts, we should and need to every opportunity we can.
This is all...

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Why does it matter if we beat Hillary's record or not? We had a ridiculously huge day regardless. If we even came close to Hillary, who some think already has the presidency locked up, doesn't that mean that Ron Paul is a legitimate contender?
The hillary figure is bogus. She won't touch it with a ten foot poll now. MSM probably won't mention it on account of any serious investigation (into the overtly public FEC filings) will be bad for their anointed one.
Remember only a year or less ago when the MSM were boggling about how "the blog-o-sphere" often broke news before traditional media, and they were speculating about the future of media? Now that they can really see how "new media" can carry the power of the people, that talk has disappeared. They are afraid. very afraid. 8-D

Today was a great day but we definitely have to keep the money flowing.. (look what we're up against) whether or not we do another money bomb I'm not sure. I think though that tomorrow we should try to get a good amount of donations in to top off our money bomb. The same happened after Nov. 5th and we should try to make it larger this time. I think the main reason it happens is some people forget about the date but this time there is another reason. At 11:30 approximately Ronpaul2008.com crashed due to having more donors per minute than EVER before (even more than the start of the money bomb). It was down about 40 minutes and didn't come up until way after 12. I think many of those last minute donors that the chart showed donating late were unable to donate since the site crashed due to massive traffic. I could not load it at all. Many likely went to sleep (Work tomorrow) and will plan to donate tomorrow instead in hope it will be running then. In other words I think because of the crash there is a significant amount of people who are yet to donate. Tomorrow we should attempt to make a big day as well if you can spare it and have not maxed out.
