- ThinkAboutThis, on 12/17/2007, -0/+5Goes a long way towards quieting those who say "He hasn't got a chance".
Maybe now, some of THEM will join us? - Walter205, on 12/17/2007, -0/+5Faithful to the end - no matter the cost. Freedom nothing more precious or costly... but worth it.
- shedmyskin, on 12/17/2007, -0/+5One thing I love about Ron Paul movement is its showed a lot of Democrats who think they're some kind anti government establishment movement the fraud that they've been fallowing....myself include in that as well.
This is about real freedom. - adenbley, on 12/17/2007, -0/+5good article, it's one of the few that aren't blog spam after the tea party

- grizzlegriz, on 12/19/2007, -0/+3I don't think we need another money bomb right away. He has adequate money for now and we shouldn't make money bombs into something trite.
- inactive, on 12/17/2007, -0/+3This is a great article. You have hit the nail on the head: even if he doesn't win the general election, Ron Paul has changed presidential politics. The way his campaign has mobilized young voters and political activists and challenged the status quo are inspiring. Thanks for contributing to this dialogue!
- sestalker, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1My thoughts exactly. It's Okay to feel this way. Go with it!
- rfugal, on 12/18/2007, -1/+1Donate2008.org is a Dec 31 money bomb, I've heard proposals for a January 1st money bomb as well. And many people who don't live in Iowa will want to show their support on January 3. What if we had a monster multi-day money bomb? December 31-January 3.
Here is how it works.
Donations start coming in on Dec 31, maybe a total of $2 million to end the quarter off right. Then we get a little press coverage on the 1st, and commentators also note that the donations haven't died down. January 1st we raise another $2 million.
On the 2nd it gets to be a big story because it still hasn't died down. Another $2 million. Then on the 3rd everyone who can't vote in Iowa donates so that the next day and that night, when everyone is seeing the news of the results of Iowa they also see this massive inflow of cash to the Ron Paul campaign mentioned in the same segment.
If Ron wins Iowa, the momentum will be unstoppable with the two stories together.
If he comes in second or third everyone in the media is surprised that he is now a legitimate candidate AND they can't not report in the same breath that he is pulling in millions of dollars every day. Cause face it, if he comes in 3rd (or maybe even 2nd) they say "Huckleberry is NUMBER 1! Mitt took a close second, yadda yadda," (or vice versa) and then almost mumbling it under their breaths, " Mr. Paul came in third, and now lets look at the weather..."
With the 120,000 people who donated to Ron Paul this quarter and new donors everyday this would be a cinch.
$2000k / 120k is less than $20 a person.
$20 on Dec 31 - $2,000,000
$20 on Jan 1 - $2,000,000
$20 on Jan 2 - $2,000,000
$60 on Jan 3 - $6,000,000
That's an average of $120 from each of us.
Let's face it, the nation won't be watching the news on the 1st and the 2nd. But you can bet that everyone will hear about it during the Iowa Caucus results!
