Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the target for November 5th supposed to be $10 million?
A supporter of RP’s suggested it and posted on the fundraiser website some time ago. He pledged he would donate a 100.00 if another 99,999 donors did the same. It would raise, as you posted 10 million dollars. The pledge caught on and as the day came, some 18K, well short of the 100K donors signed up. At the end of the day, the campaign raised 4.2 million dollars. A record setting day for a single candidate on line. Kerry still holds the record at some 5.1 million after his nitwit nomination.
So yes, RP did not raise the 10 million in the one day one of his supportes proposed, but he did raise 4.2 and it is a great day for him no matter how someone wants to spin it.
So all those spambots, and paulbots and all the other wonderful and cute names people give them, went into their pockets and put their money where there support is and gave what little or lot they had and supported their candidate Ron Paul.
I for one think that is great. If you have not already given, ronpaul2008.com. Give what you can as long as you follow the legal contribution law before Hillary or Rudy take it from you in higher taxes.
Paul's campaign had nothing to do with the Money Bomb, it was a goal set by the grassroots.
