Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul’s supporters raised over $6 million Sunday to boost the 10-term Texas congressman’s campaign for the White House.

Called a “Money Bomb,” the goal was to raise as much money as possible on the Internet in one day. The campaign’s previous fundraiser brought in $4.2 million.

The “Paulnuts” are definitely a loyal bunch! The amount of money he’s been able to raise has been undoubtedly impressive. I would have to give them a solid A for effort, but Ron Paul is still NEVER EVER going to President.

Ron Paul supporters, they’re at it again. Hoping to detonate what they call a “money bomb,” the supporters started fundraising at midnight Saturday and have already raised $2 million as of about 10:30 a.m. today, more than at this point on Nov. 5, according to figures they posted online. They hope to collect a total of $10 million by midnight Sunday.

They’re seizing on the 234th aniversary of the Boston Tea Party and converging on the city to rally.

They plan on gathering on the State House steps at 1 p.m. and parading down to Faneuil Hall, where they will listen to speeches in tune with Paul’s libertarian platform. Speakers will include the Republican presidential candidate’s son, Dr. Rand Paul, an eye surgeon, and Carla Howell, the libertarian who ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2002.
