6mill mark for the quarter broken!

[/ QUOTE ] The graphic just changed to make 8 mil the top mark. Good to see they're on top of things.

Still 5 hours left! The pace will probably start to fade so $6.5 million is a realistic goal! Currently $200k away from Romney's record $3.1 million!

Wow that must have been a nice "just got home from work, might as well toss a few bucks towards liberty" crowd.

[/ QUOTE ] it's only 4 PM west coast time...I imagine the get home from work crowd may actually make this pick up rather than drop off.

A lot of the west coasters should be getting home from work in the next few hours, so hopefully there will be a decent continued flow for a while. I gave 200 earlier but im starting to convince myself to give another 100$ as RP closes in more on romney's 3.1m day.

Here is the report on CNN from earlier.

$5.9 million! Approaching $3 million for the day!

Wow, they have this British girl explain the basis for the day but completely fail to mention that this is the British version of July 4th. Nice spin!

[/ QUOTE ]

To be fair, isn't it the failure of the Guy Fawkes plot that is celebrated? I could be wrong, this is just what I gathered from Wikipedia.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, and? Is CNN making judgments or reporting facts?

Actually, it's been pretty much a straight line on donations since 8AM with little variance.

I'm not defending CNN, it was a lousy piece. I'm just saying the holiday is in celebration of the failure, while the whole V for Vendetta thing (which was clearly the catalyst for this fundraising idea) shows celebration for the idea of the bomb plot/revolution/Guy Fawkes. The holiday celebrates the thwarting of all that.

It's a nitpick I know, so whatever. I don't see why they had to mention the blowing up Parliament part at all.
