| i can't wait for the next report release ... if this is any indication of the kind of fundraising Paul has been doing this quarter, he's got to be closing in on the front-runners in terms of cash on hand.  | ||||

| Woo hoo!!! I was passing under an overpass with a crosslink fence. On one side, there were a bunch of cups put through the fence that spelled "Ron Paul?" and on the other side of a nearby overpass, it read "Who is Ron Paul?" I have NEVER seen this kind of grassroots support for a candidate! Is it just the Internet, or is this finally a presidential candidate that people can actually vote FOR rather than just voting against their competition? | ||||

Mitt's gonna be pissed if he spent all that money out of his own pocket and RP passes him in popularity by just using money from funds like this | ||||

| Six and a half hours left and over $1.1 mil. Who all donated to this? I put in a little in. I wonder what the average donation was. If everyone gave $25, that's 45k people donating. I'm sure the mean was higher than that, but I'd bet at least 30k people donated. That's pretty amazing, esp since I didn't hear about it til way late in the week, and I bet a lot more didn't at all.
