Remember when we Paul supporters were overjoyed because we managed to raise the last million of the 3Q total of $5.08M in just a week? That was less than 5 weeks ago.

We've already raised $2.4M today and we're at $5.5M for 4Q. Since the day is only 2/3 done, it's conceivable we could reach the halfway mark for the $12M target for 4Q fundraising today. I don't think we'll get that much but I'm already shocked at this response.

It's astonishing, really.

Thanks for the congrats, ellery. Your comment is refreshing given the usual trollfest these threads turn into. Me, I try to be positive toward all GOP candidates not named Giuliani. Admittedly, I've gotten a little suspicious of Huck's fiscal record and some remarks he's made but I could vote for him or McCain if they managed to snag the nomination.

Wolfie Blitzer is ready to cover this now in his next segment. "Ron Paul's...new fundraising surprise...it's a huge surprise". LOL.

Over $5.5M raised by 3:30CST. Sounds like a lot of people voting with their wallet.

I admit I’m not always positive about all our candidates (although I’ve been trying not to go too much on the offensive except with your favorite authoritarian and mine, Rudolph Giuliani). That said, I don’t understand the vehement hostility toward Dr. Paul. Disagreements over foreign policy don’t negate Dr. Paul’s outstanding record on small government and the Constitution.

Plus, I think it’s good for the party and the country long-term to have some good solid competition coming from the grassroots. And this certainly qualifies, to say the least — when you think about how much money Paul is raising per second, it’s pretty amazing!

I would, but seriously... siding with Kookcinich in a moronic anti-war stance?

I just can't stomach it. War is necessary sometimes. Fight it the wrong way, but dammit FIGHT. There are no other options when your declared enemy has you in his sights.

Not a bad fund raising day for a few techno geeks with cell phones, eh? It’s great to see the most authentic, conservative Republican running getting this kind of grassroot support.
