Thompson Raises $220K Online in 18 Hours
www.HughHewitt.com ^ | 6/6/07 | Patrick Ruffini

Posted on 06/06/2007 11:47:08 AM PDT by The Blitherer

Sources close to the Thompson campaign have passed along the following first-day results for ImWithFred.com:

Averaged close to 1,500 people per hour signing up as friends

Averaged $12,000 per hour in contributions

Raised more than $220,000 dollars via the website

Seen just under half of the Friends send a message to others asking them to sign up or give.

We'll see what traffic measuring services like Alexa say in a day or so, but this has to be considered a powerful shot across the bow.

Enjoy your carping now, but start looking up crow recipes, because you’ll be needing them.

In 100 days he would only receive $22mil.

It's not enough on it's own, at that level.

Yeah, But
A million Fredheads give a $100
Only takes 200,000 to give $500

Fred's coffers could very well be overflowing soon.

That’s only small “grassroots” contributuins. The big money always follows.

Your number is a little off, because this is 18 hours, not a full day. At this rate, Internet-only contributions would get to $100 million in about 360 days. However, it is patently absurd to believe that donations made via the web site are the only, and likely not even the primary, source of funding.

Money will not be an issue for Fred. Once he officially gets in, the money will flow like water.
