The Official "Ready, Ames, Fire" Money-Bomb Donation Thread

[PastaRocket848]

if the campaign grows at the rate it did last time once the election gets nearer and the less-intense supporters come out.... we'll have a 10mil moneybomb before it's said and done. december 2011 will be the time to judge progress.

Excellent list you got there. Our top 10 fund raising days were all November or later. We're essentially 5 months ahead of schedule. We didn't even have a million dollar day until November in 2007!!!

 

[reduen]

Lookin pretty good to me...

 

[Eric21ND]

Yep, and the two biggest ones were much later in the year.
We're doing great. Think positive guys!

The 3rd and 4th best fund raising day were WAY late into 2008. We are doing great so far this early into it.

 

[Shane Harris]

so this is sort of sucking. why

I think the issue last time was that we didn't have the money early enough. We can't wait until November or December to fundraise, although we'll still need to do so. We need the big bucks, NOW. It sure would be good to have a ten million dollar day in August or September and start the big ad campaigns by October. By November we need the bundlers on OUR side.

How is this "sucking" ? We are over 270k already....

 

[Shane Harris]

because thats only on track for half of what we raised on the other two bombs which had less build up time, not to mention how much less it is than the 2007 bombs

 

[afwjam]

Its early in the season, there were no successful moneybombs this early in 2007. We are a couple million dollars ahead of last time at this point, something like 50% better.

 

[Eric21ND]

No kidding! Let's put this in perspective. Raising 500k was our 5th highest day for the 2008 campaign....5th highest!!! And we did that way late on Nov 30th. We're raising 500k in July.

okay, just a little disappointed thats all, im excited that we have this much but i expected more. oh well. compared to other candidates we're hanging in there but i think unfortunately for ron to tip any scales that are weighed against him (which they are, considering media and everything else) he needs to raise hand over fist more than the rest of the field (with the exception of romney)

Agreed, + rep. Spot on.

WE WILL WIN. We've got the pretenders on the ropes. One RP dollar is worth 20 of theirs... because WE are the rEVOLution, RP is the friggin' gold standard, and they are just worthless FRNs.

All of Mitten's money and all of Mitten's rich friends are going to watch him lose again. Bachmann, bless her heart, is passing out from the stress. Cain is so confused I feel sorry for him. And the twins (Pawlenty/Santorum)... well, I can't friggin' tell them apart anyway.

Paul is it. He's the GOP's only hope for POTUS, liberty's only hope for POTUS and the frontrunner all day long.

sry, just got pumped up.
