The first 12 hours of Rand Paul’s money bomb are in the record books and so far it looks good for the limited government political outsider from Kentucky. His campaign war chest has amassed more than $183,000 in the first half of the grass roots initiated money bomb. Like the site RonPaulGraphs did during his father’s money bombs the site RandPaulGraphs is tracking the accumulating dollars.
Here is a screenshot at the halfway point:
This amount now gives him over $425k (and counting). Rand Paul also took some time this morning to publish a video thanking supporters for the money bomb and discussing the poll released this week showing him within striking distance of the establishment candidate Trey Grayson.
I’d call raising any amount over 250k in a single day a huge success in this economy. So far it looks like that amount will be exceeded. If you believe in liberty and limited government please donate. Rand has a great chance of becoming another voice for freedom on Capitol Hill. We simply can’t afford to NOT have him there fighting for us.

wait, Ron Paul's kid is named after an author?
Ayn Rand was a nut. Fitting that he'd name his kid after one.

Not sure why I feel the need to reply to such an inane comment, but I should at least set the record straight.
Ron Paul's "kid" is named Randall. He was not named after Ayn Rand. When he got older it was shortened to Rand.
If you could see more than 2 inches in front of your face or more than a 1/2 inch to the sides you'd realize that neither Ron Paul, Rand Paul, nor Ayn Rand are/were nuts.
Educate yourself a little bit. It's your responsibility, not the media's.
Enjoy!

You are wrong on several counts.
Ron Paul's son (to whom you refer) was born Randal, and grew up being called Randy. He chose to change his own name to "Rand".
And there is no basis for saying that Ayn Rand is a "nut".
