The goal released is a perfect example of the failures of central planning.

[literatim]

We had a whole 2,000 signatures. Absolutely nothing showed signs that this money bomb day was popular enough that we could raise over $2 million. Yet, Trevor released such a goal to the media and I don't remember it ever being discussed among the people. I personally think reaching the total Guiliani made last quarter would have been a much better target than reaching the campaign's requested $12 million.

How much did you give today?


Trevor was shooting for $10 million on 11/5, and it wasn't a big deal.

The only thing that has been a failure about today, is the # of people who stubbornly refused to support it, and wasted an enormous amount of folks time by at times, working to undermine it.

Who cares about Trevor. Either way $350,000 is superb!

None. I was against November 30th from the start. The press was not watching November 5th. They are watching November 30th specifically because Trevor contacted them and gave them an impossible goal.

He still didn't have to give a ridiculous goal to reach.

I'm sick of the press.

We can buy more ad space then they can print copy anyway.

And yet here you are, in the Nov 30th forum, pissing on the parade again, during the money bomb.

Surprise, surprise.

Hopefully you get some rest this weekend, and get over your case of the "I told you so's"

You people are unreal. Trevor has done more for this campaign than anyone could have ever imagined. It is amaing what he and all of us have accomplished together. Trevor is out there doing everything he can for this campaign. You should be ashamed of the word "failure" even coming out of you'r mouth. Who would have ever thought we would be over 10 Million dollars at this stage of the game. We are winning! And when Dec. 16th rolls around everyone will know it!

 

[honkywill]

We are going to hit 400,000 we only had 2,000 something pledges.

This makes me confident about how well we will do on the 16th.

We could very well break 20,000,000 this quarter. Everyone calm down, and go do something productive.

I thought we'd look stupid when I saw the $12 Million to Win!

what a whinner ...

November 5th wasn't Trevor's idea.

yep all the doubters said WOW 12 million is so high will we ever get it!

yea right we will get it and SURPASS IT BY FAR!

 

[RonPaulFTFW]

half a mil in such short notice ain't so bad.

 

[dmshannon]

Exactly.

This is an important cause to all of us and any additional funding in the hands of this frugal campaign is useful. We should not go forward expecting to hit every artificial number thrown out for these money bombs.

The important part is that the Paul campaign is funded.

 

[Steve4RP]

Money = Good. More money = Better. We are having a pretty good day/week, if we continue to fall short of every money bomb goal and still raise $15+ million for the quarter I will not complain. If we get a little extra press, then its an extra bonus...beating out every other Republican candidates total fund raising for 3Q in two months is pretty impressive!

 

[Rhys]

Remember how at first the bar was stopped at like 2.3 million? I was nervous for Nov. 5 to work... we know how that went.

You win some, you lose some.

Today, we won some.... cash!

At least 1/24th of the way there in 1 day of which you get 90 in a quarter.

 

[pickfair]

If we can reach $500,000 that's still pretty good for one day. Maybe the press will mention that but I still think it's good publicity. After the debate in Florida I noticed more papers picking up on Ron Paul - that's a good sign. And we still have the Tea Party and we're all backing that one.
