Ron Paul has no shortage of supporters who are giving him money. Some estimate he could bring in $8 million on Sunday alone:
Grass roots volunteers are attempting to get 100,000 people to donate $100 each to Ron Paul’s presidential campaign this Sunday. The event dubbed the Tea Party is to commemorate the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party by protesting the Federal Reserve’s ‘inflation tax’ along with income taxes.
Based on the number of people registered at the Tea Party 07 website it is likely that Paul will double his 4.2 million one day haul making Sunday an over 8 million dollar day. The November 5th fund raising drive had about 16,000 pledges on the website it looks like the Tea Party website will have about 32,000 people pledged to donate by the weekend.
If he gets more than $9 million, he will have topped $20 million for the quarter. He had better start spending it in Iowa and New Hampshire. He is still polling low. No amount of money can make a person vote for you if they don’t know your message. But then again, if you are a Republican primary voter, how could you not have heard about Ron Paul?
Either way, he won’t get elected based on how much money he raises.
