Final Total For November 5th?

I’m not sure. This guy says it’s $3,992,786 from 38,887 online donations, according to the Ron Paul graphs.

Fellow bloggers, feel free to edit this with me if we hear new word.

  1. I came up with a final tally of $3,995,703.21, using $3,115,107 as the campaign’s total at start of day and $7,110,810.21 as the final number on the banner widget when the clock struck 12:00 ET.

    But I’m seeing a lot of $4.2M being reported, so maybe I’m off somewhere. Maybe there are offline donations to be added to the online total.

  2. I think it might be reporters taking the final tally at the November 5th site literally, not realizing it includes the 12 hours prior.

  6. Let’s echo the Rockwell post in giving it up for Trevor Lyman, who got this ball rolling.

  7. Better yet, let’s echo the viking spirit and say, “It was a good day.”

  8. How many of these are subscribers of the American Free Press. http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/ron_paul_fights_.html

    I always wonder who the Holocaust Deniers support, and then generally go somewhere else.

  9. I don’t know who the ‘holocaust deniers’ support in general (Ron Paul has had some high-profile support from jew-haters, of course) but every political movement will have some unwholesome people in it. In particular, movements associated with calling for an increase in freedom will also attract people who wish to use that freedom for somewhat unwholesome purposes. That shouldn’t be held against the political movement, though, as the actions of the unwholesome are their own responsibility.

    When the ACLU went to court to (successfully) defend the right of nazis to march through the Northern Chicago suburb of Skokie (which has a large Jewish population), they were doing it from their convictions about freedom of speechm even though the speech in this case was vile and the march was itself understandably offensive to much of the local population (indeed, being offensive was surely, for the nazi types, a signal aim of the whole endeavour). Protecting or enhancing freedoms will inevitably attract some real scumbags, but using those as an indicator of the worth of the movement as a whole, that’s a big mistake, I think.
