Post by: 240 is Back on August 21, 2009, 04:19:02 PM

After roughly three weeks of campaigning, the son of Texas Congressman Ron Paul has shown himself to be a viable challenger for the Republican nomination to Kentucky’s U.S. Senate seat.

On Thursday, Rand Paul, an eye doctor with no professional history in politics, announced that his campaign had been given $433,509 in just 24 hours; Just an echo of the $6 million, one-day “money bomb” his father enjoyed during the 2008 presidential campaigns.

“The real-time donation counter at Dr. Paul’s website at RandPaul2010.com shows that the campaign has raised over $680,000,” Rand’s campaign Web site declares.

“Paul announced his Senate bid earlier this month, soon after Republican Sen. Jim Bunning, a Hall of Fame major league baseball pitcher, announced his decision to not seek a third term in 2010,” noted Washington, D.C. publication Congressional Quarterly.

Hate all you want. I love seeing you get your panties in a bunch. He may have just broke the record at raising money in 24 hrs for someone running from that state. Same with Schiff.

I guess you perfer candidates just get money from their corporate overlords.
