Begins in five...

Any predictions on the total?

It'll break the previous $5 mil. I'm thinking at least 8.5. It wouldn't surprise me if they made 10.

I could happen. We're at about triple the amount of the first fundraiser at this point, but it will likely taper off through the night. I was saying $6 million going in, but it looks like it could go much higher. We'll see.

*spots TWG in the verbal mosh-pit that is RWED and flings her to safety*

I was gonna say eight, but I've been... busy...

The current trajectory points to $6 million.

Do you mean in real money or Ron Paul's pretend money?

Not bad for a guy fighting it out with Alan Keyes for the nomination.

Thanks! That's what's so great about most folks here, they look out for each other.

*stands near the edge of the RWED pit*

Looks like I guessed high. They made $6 in 24. Pretty amazing if you ask me (Sarge kinda did). Kerry did $5.7 in one day after getting the nom and Hil did $6 by pooling funds from several multi-day events and calling it one fundraiser. Six million dollars in one day by the 5th position man is very impressive.

Way to go Ron Paul!

Keyes is a nice guy and a fantastic orator. *almost falls in pit again* Oops.
