Ron Paul's $4.2 Million Record-Setting Day CBNNews.com November 6, 2007 cbn.com CBNNews.com - Trying to catch up in a race that is leaving many in the dust, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul made some forward progress Monday by putting $4.2 million in his fundraising bank -- a one-day record for a GOP candidate. The Texas congressman's outpouring of support was mostly attributed to Internet donations. Paul's contributions registered for a 24-hour period ousted Mitt Romney as the GOP record holder for single-day donations. However, Democratic front-runners Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama hold the overall one-day records, with Clinton tilting the scales at $6.2 million collected on June 30. The Internet campaign, centering around the theme of Guy Fawkes Day, motivated more than 37,000 donors to come up with approximately $4.2 million, said Paul's fundraising director Jonathan Bydlak Monday night. On Nov. 5, 1605, british mercenary Fawkes failed to assassinate England's King James I. Interviews, speeches and YouTube movie clips of "V for Vendetta" comprised the successful Web fundraising technique. "It's been kind of building up virally," said Jesse Benton, Paul's spokesman. Still having much ground to catch up, Paul came into the spotlight in late September, when he reported collecting $5.2 million in a three-month period. The surge catapulted him into fourth place amongst his GOP rivals for the quarter in fundraising dollars. Since Oct. 1, Paul took in more than $7 million in donations, which is more than half of the $12 million goal he seeks to reach by year's end. Paul is the only GOP candidate opposing the Iraq war and his platform is considered by many as representing libertarian views. Even though he has the common Republican stance of low taxes and small government, Paul stands against the tightened security measures imposed by the Bush Administration, which he considers a violation of civil liberties held by citizens.
