GOP Witnesses Power of On-Line Campaigning

DeathPenguin writes: GOP underdog Ron Paul awed supporters and opponents alike on November 5th with by far the most successful mass donation drive of this election cycle racking up a total of $3.8M in a single day — and the number keeps growing. With a campaign largely powered by bloggers, Youtubers, websites such as http://www.thisnovember5th.com/ and other on-line activists, the 72-year old pro-small-government congressman and former career doctor continues to bring in much needed funding and support in the face of much better funded rivals. Could this large amount of cash indicate a large disconnect between mainstream media's polling numbers and actual support for Dr. Paul?

The most successful day still belongs to John Kerry who raised $5.7 million the day he accepted the Democratic nomination. Also, check out http://www.ronpaulgraphs.com/ to track the Paul campaign's fundraising progress throughout the year.
