ImmortalDragon Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 http://www.ronpaul2008.com/ From the official site Paul Campaign Raises Over $5,000,000 In Third QuarterFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 3, 2007 ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA -- The Ron Paul 2008 presidential campaign raised $5,080,000 during the third quarter of 2007. That is an impressive 114 percent increase from the second quarter. Cash on hand for the Paul campaign is $5,300,000. "Dr. Paul's message is freedom, peace and prosperity," said Paul campaign chairman Kent Snyder. "As these fundraising numbers show, more Americans each day are embracing Dr. Paul's message." Ron Paul's 114 percent increase is in stark contrast to the decrease suffered by Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, and John McCain. Romney's fundraising was down 29 percent. Giuliani was down 40 percent. McCain was down 55 percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stophovr6 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I think the OP made a Typo. I think Paul is trying to raise 1 mil before the end of the quarter and is only at the halfway point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Paul is trying to raise 1 mil before the end of the quarter and is only at the halfway point. Yeah... but even then, if he has 500k with "a little over three days to go" he is more or less on pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Paul is trying to raise 1 mil before the end of the quarter and is only at the halfway point. I dont get the LOL reference either, but the goal as stated (500k) was met in half the predicted time. I think maybe the LOL was more laughter at the nay-sayers who still try to claim that his support is spam or a small fringe group. This has very obviously been proven as a myth when faced with real facts. I think that it is simply amazing that he is raising money so fast when considerring that the average donation is less than $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrockster21 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Maybe we're LOLing at him because he's raising all this money without a snowball's chance in hell to win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stophovr6 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Maybe we're LOLing at him because he's raising all this money without a snowball's chance in hell to win? In that case, shouldn't we LOL at the donors? All this LOL talk is making me dizzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnyderShrugged Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Holy crap! The donations went up over $50k in 2 hours even after the original deadline was hit? At that rate of travel, they will have made more than a million, easily. http://www.ronpaul2008.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no1fanofno21 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 what a waste of money. Can you imagine if the people who give money to the canidates gave it to fight real stuff like Darfur and aids in africa or even poverty in our own country how much better the world would be. For the most part people are gonna vote republican/democrat/green party. Going to each state and saying the same things to different crowds is a waste of time and money.
