Ron Paul Raises 4.2 Million in 24 Hour Donation Drive, Topping His Previous One Day Record of a Couple Million

MSNBC is running this as their front page story. I wonder if they are afraid of Denial of Service attacks if they don't.

For some reason, I have the feeling that there is some Enron type accounting going on, and I would wait for those checks clear before I put alot of stock into this story.

However, I must give my shout out to Paul and his minions. They are certainly mobilized and are in a lot of ways a model example of how our two party system works. Having dabbled in Libertarianism myself at one point, it is interesting to see how a former 3rd party presidential candidate that never actually registered on the political radar back in the 80's, has reformed his strategy and signed on to the Republican party and has actually been a fairly effective congressman at limiting spending by voting No on everything for over a decade.

Now he runs as a Republican presidential candidate and is actually invited to debates and claims the headline story on such major news outlets as MSNBC (even though nobody reads it).

Ron Paul should be the model for all Libertarians that there is more to gain by being a Republican and trying to sway the party closer to your ideals, than living the lie of 3rd party viability.
