Six million dollars in one day… that’s how much the Ron Paul campaign raised over the weekend from independent contributors and this figure absolutely shatters previous amounts.

The huge sum is credited to Paul’s online supporters, much of whom are American youth seeking drastic change in our leadership. Dr. Paul exclaims it’s the, “youthfulness of his ideas,” that attracts them. For example, he is the only Republican Candidate who roundly rejects the War in Iraq and supports an immediate withdrawal from the region.

In the first 9 months of the year his campaign raised $8.4 million dollars. Add more than $18 million dollars in the 4th quarter alone and the Ron Paul campaign has generated more funds than the majority of other candidates. The question now is… how will he use them?

Clinton and McCain take New Hampshire Primary

Hillary Clinton’s campaign should change their slogan to a line from rapper LL Cool J: Don’t call it a comeback. For nearly a year, Clinton has been seen as the most likely choice and obvious front runner for Democratic Nominee but a loss in the Iowa Caucus had the Clinton campaign on the ropes.

While some analysts predicted she may soon drop out of the race after a possible loss in New Hampshire, the tables were turned. Hillary won New Hampshire and regained the momentum she needs (and expected). She finished with 39% of the vote and behind her were Obama (37%), Edwards (17%), Richardson (5%) and Kucinich (1%).

On the Republican side, McCain came away with a huge victory (37%) and only Mitt Romney was close (32%). The loss was seen as somewhat devastating for Romney who expected a win in New Hampshire. Huckabee, Giuliani and Ron Paul rounded out the top 5, earning spots in the next televised Republican debate.
