2 Hour count down...

I can never keep the time zone thing straight. Does the donation day officially end at 12am EASTERN? Or do those on the west coast still have time to get in under the wire?

12 midnight Pacific Time is the proper way to look at it I think. You have to give all those folks in California who might be wandering back home at 9pm their time from dinner or something the chance to log in and contribute to the bomb. If you look at all the graphs from the Ron Paul bombs, there were still significant contributions between 12-3 am Eastern time coming in from the West Coast, and I don't think we want to do anything to discourage such activity. Just accept the fact that a money bomb day has 27 hours.

I say the moneybomb ends when the press picks up the story tomorrow morning.
Makes me wonder if his opponents knew about this? Otherwise it might be a little startling to see your opponent who's in third place with about 465k jump with 50k of you over night.
By the way, just hit 700k. It'd be nice if some people are saving up for a last second donation.
