In 2004, on the day John Kerry accepted the Democratic presidential nomination, the Boston senator raised $5.7 million on the Internet, the biggest online fundraising day on record.

Yesterday, Ron Paul, the Republican congressman whose rock star status on the Internet has singlehandedly fueled his campaign, broke that record, raising nearly $6 million in 24 hours.

More at the link, of course. More comments needed!

If "blog" is in the URL I am not satisfied.

Patience. Tomorrow morning, this movement moves to the next level in the MSM. One record day can be dismissed as a fluke. A second day, this time record-shattering across the board with a nearly 50% increase over the previous, cannot.

We've just made that second day a reality.

The article says "nearly 6 million". In fact, we officially raised over 6 million. Probably an unintentional error, all-around nice article though.

I thought that $5.7 million was from offline fundraising, with maybe a little from online ? I could be wrong though.

I believe you're right. I wish these reporters would check their facts.
