Kaboom!

The second Ron Paul money bomb went off even bigger than the first! On December 16th, the campaign raised over $6M making it the most amount of money a candidate has raised online on a single day ever. And this is still before the primaries. The previous record was John Kerry in 2004 after he clinched the Democratic nomination. Between the two money bombs alone, Ron Paul raised over $10M. That is quite a bit more than "mainstream" candidates John "Iraq is going well" McCain and Mike "Jesus wants me to win" Huckabee can hope to raise in the whole fourth quarter.

Maybe this will cause Dr. Paul to finally get a respectful amount of press coverage. Maybe he's no longer a "fringe" candidate. Or maybe that won't happen until he upsets the whole apple cart with a win in the New Hampshire primary. Either way, it's a lot of fun to watch and be a part of. We're boldly going where no campaign has gone before, and we're doing it in style!
