Predict the June 5 Money Bomb Total

[sailingaway]

I'm expecting 700k-1.2mil.

Im hopeful we hit a million, everything after is gravy. We need to temper expectations, these early and often bombs have a different purpose then the nov 5th and Boston tea part bombs from the last cycle. Those bombs were protests to the MSM media bias among other things. These are about funding the campaign early enough to make a difference in Iowa and the other Early states.

this is very true.

For every couple of posts here, see if you can find a place or two to post about the moneybomb under a Ron Paul article, or youtube or especially on another forum you frequent where people know you!

the presidents day bomb only raised 450k. it was touted as 750k but the ticker included an initial 300k from the previous week.

Yeah, they seem to be backing the ticker to zero instead of keeping in the total quarterly funding for this one.

One million dollars?

Maybe we need a "time machine", so we can go back to 2007 and find our mojo.

 

[tnvoter]

right now it's looking like $912,000. But I was hoping for more like $2,000,000 at the least.

Can't edit for contest!

Anything over 750K is good imo.. considering the Economy and all.

We're doing them before people really tune in to the election, though, and doing them pretty much each month, and will continue to do so. I agree, I didn't know what to expect and hoped for the sky, but it is reasonable when you think about it.

$1M is a very solid number, especially for June.

 

[KingRobbStark]

From an Austrian perspective, I predict alot of money.

 

[tpreitzel]

Since the current rate of donations is less than 1K/minute, I suspect the final tally will be about $1.25M. Although, I expect the rate to increase soon, it won't be enough to reach $2M.

$625,848.23 as of 4:09:5 pm EST

Less than $1,000,000. There are several reasons the first of which is time. There wasn't enough time to get the hype up. The campaign basically gave a week and that isn't even close to enough. Money bombs should be something unique and special. If the campaign is just going to abuse them then they WILL fail, as proven by today. If $6,000,000 looked like a realistic goal for today i wouldn't be making this post, but it is very obvious that the money bomb today will be just a fraction of what they were in the past.

The people who max out such as llepard, some others cannot continue to do so. I'm almost halfway to maxing out. Just can't afford anymore for this one.

I agree. They need to do much fewer moneybombs. That way people have time to hear about it and plan for that day- then when they give, they give a good chunk as opposed to giving less because they know they are planning on contributing to future ones.

I don't think you guys get it. We cant wait for 4 million in two months, we need 1 million now. Its working.
We got 1 million on debate day
we will get 1 million today
we will get 1 million on july 4th
we will get way more then a million on ready ames fire
It adds up quick and it adds up early in the campaign.
This is not about headlines, though a million dollars raised is good for headlines.
This is about raising money NOW, early in the campaign.

Damn. I wish they wouldn't put that up in a sense, but the number has to end somewhere....

 

[Michigan11]

Hey it's all good people... the more damn fun we have with these, the more people will join in.

Let's not be a bunch of damn statists!

 

[Lovecraftian4Paul]

We gotta consistently grow our ranks too. This is the only way to get fresh donors. Those who are capable of maxing out are done several moneybombs in.
