The Final Countdown

Update 8:13pm PST: I'm listening to www.ronpaulradio.com and the servers at www.ronpaul2008.com are getting bombed in this last hour. The total over donated on their counter is $17.6 million dollars. It's possible that the ticker will reach $18 million dollars if their servers don't crash! Which will bring the total for the day to $6.5 million!!

Update: 9:04 pm - ronpaulforums= crashed ronpaul2008.com=crashed ronpaulgraphs.com=crashed paulcash.slact.net=crashed. awesome

Update 8:49 PM:$17,920,552 - this is going to be close

Update and Bump:

December 16th could be bigger fundraising wise than November 5th. I'm predicting anywhere between $500k and $8million. I'm going to start watching at 8 pm to see how fast that thermometer goes up. It's addicting.

UPDATE: Daily Paul has a initial total at $11,552,560.73, it's 10:13 PST and thermometer just hit $12 mil. Wow, nearly half a million dollars after first hour. Friggin amazing!

Hotties4RonPaul

There is a calender that is debuting this weekend along with the teaparty in support of Ron Paul. Hotties4RonPaul is the place you can order it. Liv is in it, as well as this grandmother who appeared on Tucker's show a few months back.

Ron Paul Linkorama

The Ron Paul Blimp is scheduled to launch next week. There was a tiny blurb about it in the Advance Press:

One of the largest blimps in the world will be launched in Weeksville on Monday promoting Republican Ron Paul’s presidential bid.

The blimp tour supporting the Texas congressman’s presidential campaign is slated to formally kick off next week out of Airship Management Services’ office in Weeksville.

A revamp of the site ronpaulblimp.com will include a way to track where the blimp is via GPS in real time as well as a way to purchase advertising while the blimp is flying over events.

Vijay Boyapati left a job with Google to head up Operation Live Free or Die. He wants to get a thousand volunteers to move to New Hampshire and campaign on behalf of Dr. Paul. It looks like he'll be getting around that many in next couple of weeks.

Finally, Wolf Blitzer had a nice segment on Ron Paul and did an interview with Pat Buchanan immediately afterward




Finally (really) Dr. Paul made an appearance on "The View", Conservative Belle has the video

It's not about money, it's about respect

His campaign has raised $9 million so far this quarter. With a little over a month left before the end of the quarter and another "moneybomb" set for Dec 16th, Dr. Paul should exceed his $12 million by at least a couple million dollars.

UPDATE: Looks like the campaign thinks the same thing.

Teaparty 2007

$4.2 million was the total raised on November 5th. December 16th is the date for the next Ron Paul "moneybomb". He's probably looking at anywhere between $500,000 to $8 million raised on that day. As an aside, I'm so accurate with my predictions my gift is more of a curse really. But anyway, be a part of history again, donate!. In the meantime, watch this vid (complete with Iron Chef theme music!):
