As Obama raises $1 million dollars from 500 rich people at a lavish dinner party. Ron Paul made one last fund raising push to raise $500,000 in the final week of Q3. They achieved this goal in 4 short days and now Ron has set the bar at $1,000,000. http://www.ronpaul2008.com/http://www.ronpaul2008.com

Can Ron Paul raise $1 Million dollars in a week without offering the contributers so much as a cracker in return? Can Ron Paul and his supporters pull of the impossible (again)? Is this the beginning of the end for politician's snobbish dinner parties?

We will soon know the answers, he has 3 days left."

Forget polls, check out the reality of who people are searching for, and where those searches are coming from. See how Ron Paul's online popularity has taken off while the media has hardly mentioned him at all. Other political candidates rise and fall, it's pretty easy to see who is strong and who needs to work harder on their campaigns."

The article quotes state Republican party vice-chair Chris Cavey: "The final vote showing Ron Paul won is a lesson for all campaigns of how grass-roots politics can make all the difference.""

TheSkepticGuy writes: Several stories are emerging that Ron Paul is doing very well in Republican straw polls, but is being neglected by mainstream news. Now we find one group of Ron Paul delegates actually being locked out of a straw poll. "The Convention center opened at 9am and was supposed to allow delegates to vote until around 1pm. At 10 am the security gaurds locked the doors and stopped anyone from entering who did not have a pre printed pass." Video and first-person account at AboveTopSecret.com

Fox Hacks Fark 188

circletimessquare writes "Valleywag.com is reporting on a case of a hacker not covering his tracks. It seems that, via a targeted email, an admin at Fark.com downloaded a trojan, which was used to steal passwords for Fark servers. Notably, these activities were traced to an IP address in Memphis Tennessee, and to a Fox News new-media reporter. As to the veracity of the story, that is bolstered by the fact that the story was greenlit for the front page of Fark. Motive? That could range from Fark being a rumored Fox takeover target, to stealing source code for a competing Fox social networking site. If the story is true, laws have been broken, but perhaps not by the Fox News reporter: it's possible his computer was hacked as well. Whatever the truth, it's a very entertaining read, as it pushes a number of hot buttons."
