Ron Paul-$8 Million this quarter

[angelatc]

This needs to be shown to the Wall St. protesters. Talking about how the FED causes these financial problems and a free market economy is "the most humane" system.

Just stop that. The Wall Street people want money from government. They don't give a rat's ass about freedom and liberty, and they're not gonna vote in the GOP primary.

saw the BTO comment. loved it. good way to spread the word

 

[Tunink]

"He'll also note that the campaign has over 100,000 donors — five times as many as Rick Perry"

Awesome!

Eat my shorts Mark Levin!

I wonder if the $8 million includes the $1 million he transferred from his Congressional account right after the second quarter.

Amen.

Truth be told, they are extremely unlikely to vote in the General Election either.

Called it.

This is phenomenal! I was expecting $5-$6 million. This will allow the campaign to make a real blitz this month into Iowa and NH. I can't wait for BTO. If we can get 5-6 for BTO then we are starting to roll fast. Everyone else better get out of the way!

big sigh of relief! 8 million was the min we needed this quarter and we got it!!

 

[ross11988]

I wonder if they even tapped into the 8 million yet or if they are still trying to spend the money from the last quarter.

 

[trey4sports]

I think Rudy did something like $36M one quarter in '07.

lol! It is a fantastic number since Ron Paul's 100,000 donors, 5 times the number Perry has, are mostly small donors who can donate again. We are talking about an income STREAM with Ron, and not so the other big money raisers.

One article on Bachmann was saying she really needed, not numbers like Perry or Romney got, but $6 or $7 million, to show she could compete as necessary. We well topped that.

I thought that was pretty close to his total. I do know Ron beat them all fourth quarter -- I hope we can show an increase from that this time around, too!

I'm gonna guess she pulls in no more than $4 million. Cain around $2.5 million

I actually think Cain will be higher than Bachmann, he said he was getting 'several hundred thousand a day' since the straw poll and was initially projecting $3 million, I think it will be more like $4 million. I think Bachmann won't get new donations of more than $2 million or so, the issue is whether she will transfer from her congressional account. I don't think she'll have as much on hand.

I heard Rick Santorum was going to report he raised roughly (15) bed, bath, and beyond gift cards this quarter.

 

[mpdsapuser]

I wonder if Mark Levin will report on this figure and the amount of donations Ron Paul received. After all, Ron Paul only has, according to Levin, "a few thousand" supporters....

Does that mean Rick Perry only has a couple of wealthy friends?

Yeah, but those gift cards will go further than you might think - I heard he also has a big stack of 20% off coupons.

Sure hope my comment about Black THIS Out survives!

still there!
