Ya, I guess that would clearly be a better play.

The e-Campaign Director, Justine Lam, is aware of and supportive of this initiative and has said that "Yes, I think we could handle it".

Let's hope she knows what she's doing. Probably she thinks it's a silly idea and knows the servers are fine, but doesn't want to discourage the donation effort.

If the servers crash tomorrow I take full responsibility for the shenanigans, and you guys can punish me as you see fit.

How were the servers not stressed enough on Nov 5th is the question you should be asking.

Who knows. It's a stupid idea that could do more harm than good. They're expecting bigger and better things on December 16th I guess, but at least do it at a time when nobody else is going to donate! It's during the prime evening hours and on a day that a lot of people will want to donate. Also, won't the campaign have to pay more in credit card transaction fees with all of these $10 donations?

anyone think the ron paul movement will continue even if he doesn't make it to office ? Seems like he's opening up a ton of people's eyes to what's ruining america and their citizens lives.

News coverage on this would be way too easy to portray as a scam. I'd rather donate the following day.

Regardless of if he wins or not, I really think this is the true intention of the campaign. I've had some of the same thoughts he has expressed - I jumped on board because of that. It's funny; I never expected to share political views with a 72 year old man (I'm 20).

I guess its not impossible. Among the losers in 2004, John Edwards earned a VP nomination and Howard Dean is the DNC chair.

Huckabee came across very well, but man he blinks like a mother [censored].

Huckabee freaking terrifies me. He speaks very well in a folksy kinda way that's likely to have appeal but he is seriously the worst of all worlds:

He is:
1. A warmonger
2. A socialist (seriously! check his club for growth record)
3. A hardcore bible-bashing social conservative

Ugh.
