Mlk vs Teaparty hourly breakdown of the numbers

[sharpsteve2003]

The only reason I am comparing MLK to Teaparty is that those are the only hourly numbers that I have to compare. If I had Nov 5th hourly nuimbers or any other hourly bomb numbers I would have posted those too. I am posting this to give an idea where we might end up as far as totals. If you have hourly numbers for Nov 5th or other big bombs then by all means post them. I am in no way trying to diminish the MLK bomb by comparing it to Teaparty.

I will be updating figures hourly. The figures I am getting are from ronpaul2008.com when it hits the top of the hour exactly.

I posted a poll on continuing bomb till 12am Pacific. The results were 6 yes 3 no at midnight so I will post the next 2 hours results as well and that just happens to be the same amount of time I kept track of the Teaparty Bomb. Good work everyone!!!!

Update: My computer crashed just after midnight and I lost my whole excel spread sheet for the day so no more totals. They amounts coming in after midnight were rather small and would not have made much difference to the totals. Good thing I got it all posted here before it crashed.

averaging about 19.7% of the tea party. That amount to about 1.188 million. This is beyond my expectation, but well short of my prayers. I feel like breaking a mil will be a success, and we can look forward to getting out in the cold to canvass!!! If you cannot put up 2300$, then go out and do 2300 - your donation = $$ worth of canvassing.

I'm getting my friends to donate a dollar each, get the donors up, if anything.. Surely we can get 100k if we are only asking a dollar from everyone.. (as much as one can come off of -> max out)

 

[rp08orbust]

Do we know that anything is left after credit card transaction fees are subtracted from $1 donations?

 

[Xenophage]

I'd rather have a comparison with November 5th honestly. Teaparty was just too huge to replicate.

I remember a post somewhere about donating $1 to Huckabutt because it would cost more than the donation, so I think $1 will cost the campaign because of fees for processing.

Sorry, but I don't have hourly numbers for Nov 5th as I was not as involved as I am now.

 

[wildflower]

I think we should just focus on this one, and spend time promoting it instead of constantly comparing it to the previous ones.

JMO.

The PPA's (per per person average) been stellar @ $90.00. There just haven't been as many donors throughout the night as there were on Nov 5th and Dec 16th. Hopefully this will change come daytime.

 

[CrazyRonPaulSupporter]

Good job OP, but in all honesty, this comparison is very unfair. The TeaParty is the yet single biggest fundraising online in history. We also had over a month to promote it. It was featured several times in the old media as well. This money bomb didn't really take off until like 10 days ago when RP announced it/mentioned it on CNN during the interview with Wolf Blitzer regarding the news letters. The TeaParty was also promoted from the beginning as the money bomb where you should max out if you could. This money bomb was promoted as the amount of money didn't really matter, but the amount of participants was much more important. It had $10 dollars or more pledge on it's homepage. And many, as myself, didn't even want to participate in the this bomb for various reasons, until of course the General himself announced it. So comparing these 2 money bombs will make the MLK bomb look very, very small, even if we do great. A better comparison, and something we would actually be able to compete with would be the 5th of November money bomb, and that is the one we should aim for to break (to begin with).


I hope someone could put those November 5th numbers up to compete with, that would make it more fair and achievable..........

[sharpsteve2003]

I wasn't trying to just compare it to Teaparty but those are the only hourly numbers I had to go on and thought it would give an idea of where we might end up.

 

[newyearsrevolution08]

here is what confuses me though, I know the teaparty was big but guess where all those donators are???? they are ron paul supporters STILL and odds are still around. I think those 60k who donated that day might donate today as well as many new donators as well. Odds are plenty did max out but plenty also only donated $50 as well and might even be able to double their previous donation.

I hope we break the teaparty record and then some.

One thing I do know is "once you go ron paul you dont go back."

 

[Taco John]

A comparison to the tea party is useless and tells me nothing. This should be compared to Nov. 5th.

No matter how many people did max out, the average donations for the Tea Party and Guy Fawkes Day were about $100 each, right guys? In that case, the average donor still has about $2100 or so to give before reaching their legal limit! Hence, the limit should not be preventing many people from donating today

Right, which is why I'm concerned. There are still a TON of people left who can donate and it's not like the MLK money bomb was something that's been in the closet and is just now coming out. People have known about it for quite some time.So, for all it's hype - thusfar this bomb has been a dud. Hopefully this is just an anomaly though and things will begin picking up soon *crosses fingers*.

Well, the Tea Party was on a Sunday, meaning that a lot more people probably stayed up through the night Like Guy Fawkes Day, today's a Monday (and despite being a holiday, most people have work!), meaning most donations will probably take place during working hours or even during the evening. That said, I could be incorrect, since I have no idea how it went on Nov. 5th...does anyone have an hour-to-hour comparison for that day?

In a way, I sort of agree with the posts which say that we shouldn't compare ourselves to our past accomplishmnets.

In another way I think that it might show us how far behind we are. Maybe we should kick it in to a higher gear?

I guess that I should point out that Ron Paul said we need (I think) 23 Million?

Since I disagree with myself I'll do this:

Here's a link:

Click on brown "tea party 07 Six Million in one Day!" button. This will give you all the information you need.

By the way.....where did the original 10 dollar suggested donation recommendation come from?

I'd say it came from the fact that we don't want anyone to have an excuse NOT to donate. However, the more the better, obviously.

The $10 suggested minimum donation (vs $100 on Nov 5 and Dec 16) doesn't seem to be hurting us too much. Average donation is $89 today vs just over $100 in the previous two.

EDIT: Deleted comment hoping HQ would send an email promoting MLK. Turns out they did just after midnight.

One problem we have is that we aren't reaching most of the previous Paul donors. The only way to reach all of them is for HQ to send out an email. Hope they decide to send one today -- having another big day would really help boost morale.

Either way, it looks like we are on track for our third best day ever.

They already sent out a very good email. It went out last night so everyone has probably received it already. It talked directly about the Free at Last Money-Bomb today so was obviously sent out to remind everyone

 

[Xonox]

Wow we keep getting closer to the Tea Party every hour... lets keep it up.
