Ron Paul pockets
$6 million in one day from money bomb
The second money bomb of Ron
Paul, the Tea Party, has raised $6 million on Sunday, beating
all previous records.
When
you talk about grass root campaigning and new age vision, you
talk about Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. His
"money bomb" fundraised on Sunday, dubbed the Ron Paul Tea Party
to commemorate the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party,
raised $6.1 million, breaking all records, including his
previous money bomb $4.2 million number. According to spokesman
for Congressman Ron Paul, over 60,000 first-time donors
contributed to the Tea Party fundraiser, greatly enlarging the
support base of the GOP presidential hopeful. The money raised
during the Ron Paul Tea Party will be used for campaigning in
Iowa, spokesman for Ron Paul said. With the money from the
Sunday "money bomb" added, the total contributions to Ron Paul's
campaign in the fourth quarter of 2007 have now increased to
over $18.2 million.
Ron Paul continues to be the most bet on
presidential candidate at the online sportsbook
Bodog Sports. Supporters of the
Congressman have driven the odds on Ron Paul of winning the
Republican presidential nomination to 5/2, behind only Rudy
Giuliani. Ron Paul's odds on becoming the next U.S. President
were also cut drastically, from 18/1 all the way down to 6/1 to
win the 2008 Elections. The odds makers, however, have "wised
up" and all the odds offered on the Ron Paul Tea Party (see
links below) matched the bookmaker's favorite.
