You all laughed at me when I said 100 million

[jpinkerton]

There were what...38,000. Let's say about twice as many people donate that day. 80,000 donors at $1,250 per donor would be $100 million.

It's not impossible, and is good to set a goal, and I agree, $10 million is a great goal, and plan for that, but PUSH for 100 million.

I think I'll take a page out of Stephen Hakwing's book and bet that you're way off, since I couldn't lose such a bet even if I was wrong.

15 mil is my prediction.

I donated on the 5th at about 7pm when I told myself before the event that I would not (all ready a little tapped out from donations and meet up activities). I donated $100.

December 16th I will donate at least $250 if not more. I think we will have 80k - 100k donors at a $140 - $150 average donation.

I am not signed up the teaparty07 and I will not. I get WAY too much Ron Paul e-mail as is.

 

[JordanL]

If we raise $100 mil in a day, I expect all the pretenders to throw in the towel on the spot. That would be like, damn, election is over. Give Paul the keys to the whitehouse and gtfo.

Aiming for $100 million is folly. But getting $100 million is game, set, match.

I never laughed at you. I don't laugh at pathetic people on the street either. All you are doing is giving the media and others something to laugh at to distract from the success of the 16th. Please stop.

 

[Energy]

Just the thought of $100 mil energizes us to think much bigger than ourselves. It supercharges the creative juices that can make the difference between $10 mil and $40mil (and, ok, $100 mil).

The media...the media....always living in fear of the friggin media!

Tell me, how is possible to defeat an adversary when you cower in fear before it?

Ah yes...I can see the headlines now ..."RP campaign fizzlling out. Only raised 40 million when the goal was 100 million"...

Yeah...you're right...that would SINK us....LOL

Let me ask you this? Is getting MAJOR media coveregae IN ADVANCE doable?....

Not guaranteed...but doable??

If you answered "yes"....then 100 million is not impossible....We are still 30 days away and already this has been mentioned on Face the Nation...Katie Couric...and Wolf Blitzer..

just get busy pimping this thing and the rest will follow

 

[TechnoGuyRob]

"RP campaign fizzlling out. Only raised 40 million when the goal was 100 million"

I laughed out loud.

 

[austin356]

You guys do know if we get $100 million we will have won the entire race on that day dont ya?

Hell I can safely sleep in on Feb. 5th.


But I can safely say this idea is stupid.

 

[JoshLowry]

Max, I will still be laughing if we hit 100 million in one day.

Laughing very maniacally.

And getting our country back, this can be done.

Why not go for...


$100 BILLION DOLLARS

 

[Original_Intent]

My feelings:

Anything under 4.3 million would be a disappointment.

4.3 million - 6 million a solid showing that would generate some good positive media.

6-8 million good wow factor

8-10 million HUGE

10 million+ we win

I predict the we win category.

 

[MadTheologian]

Keep pushing this into the MSM and those of you who tore me a new asshole for projecting 100 Million will owe me an apology..

If we raise 100 Million, we'll chip in to give you another digestive system for your new orifice.

 

[Mark Mosconi]

I predicted 2 million for November 5th...we more than doubled that. I predict 6 million for December 16th. I would love to see more, but I find I constantly need convincing of our support...and I am constantly convinced, yet I still need further convincing. If we pull in 10 million...I will be convinced. 100 million? Not only is that unlikely, it's absurd. But oh...would I love to be proven wrong...sadly, not only can I not picture it, I cannot even fathom it.

 

[tekkierich]

I predict 8.6 Million. Double the 5th

 

[AlexMerced]

no matter what, I think we'll be shocked by the events of this saturday and sunday

 

[Original_Intent]

$100 million would cause a national Rongasm! One that even Hillary would feel!

OK, why did I have to give myself a mental image like that?? Nothing for it but to drive a truck over my own head.
