Ron Paul Finishes with Over $6 Million on Second Money Bomb

What better record to break than your own. Ron Paul broke his own record for a single day, which was $4.3 million on Guy Fawkes Day, today by taking in over $6 million dollars. Paul also broke John Kerry’s record breaking day of $5.7 million.

December 16^th was the 234^th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party which is why supporters chose this date. The “Paulites” even rented a blimp which flew around over South Carolina with ads for Ron Paul on each side.

One side of the blimp read, “Who is Ron Paul? Google Ron Paul.” The other side said, “Ron Paul Revolution.” Paulites hope to use a blimp in New Hampshire before the January 3^rd primary as well.

Jesse Benton, a campaign spokes person for Ron Paul said that the median donation from supporters was $50 dollars based on credit card donations coming in during the day. Ron Paul finished the day with $17.9 million dollars for the quarter.

The campaign said that they needed to raise $12 million dollars this quarter in order to be competitive in the early primary states. The campaign has met and overwhelmingly exceeded this goal with two weeks still to go in the quarter.

Whether it was John Kerry or Ron Paul that held the record outright for a single day of fundraising, after Sunday it is clear that Ron Paul now holds the record.
