The Ron Paul camp is saying that they have raised $2.7 million today in a 5 November/Guy Fawkes Day/calling all to arms/wallets day. And all I have to say is 'whaaaaa?' Seriously, $2.7 million in one day? Did they give a call to Brewster?
Think of what Ron Paul could do with that money if he decided to stop running today. Here are some of my suggestions...
1). Buy Action Comics 1 and Detective Comics 27 (yes I'm that much of a dork)
2). Pay Roger Clemens to pitch for about 2 games and give up 8 runs
3). Give out a car to around 92 members of his studio audience (at least, if he were Oprah)
4). Purchase a 30-second ad in the Superbowl and show nothing at all
5). Buy the world a coke and keep it company (or, at least 2.16 million people in the world when averaging a 20-oz bottle at $1.25)
Update: Make that $4.2 million

Dork
What's scares me is the number of young progressives I know who are enamored by Ron Paul. Sure, his anti-war sentiments make him attractive for a Republican, but his inner libertarian beliefs are frightening. Forget Social Security, the Federal Reserve system, or any hope of universal health care (amazing as he's even a physician). I guess he only likes government when it can prevent women from personal family planning decisions. If Ron Paul has his way, the market (think Chinese manufacturers selling their lead-filled wares) will dominate society. I wish progressives would consider Ron Paul's true ambitions before supporting him.
