Once again adapting a “telethon” fund raising approach for online 21st Century cyber savvy supporters, Rep. Ron Paul raised more than $4 million dollars in a three day presidential fundraiser. In fact, after the midnight deadline passed money has continued to surge into the candidate’s campaign coffers.

The latest ‘moneybomb’ exploded at a fast pace December 16 as by about 8:10 a.m. $445,473. By Sunday night they had topped $4 million dollars. Many of Paul’s devout supporters hailed the announcement that “it’s after midnight and the money is still flowing. This is a double dip surge.” The new donation plateau received a late jolt when Drudge Report posted that the goal had been met.

According to the campaign website, Paul now has offices open over a dozen states. Another fundraiser is planned for January.

The campaign received an Iowa bump from the latest Public Policy Poll released Sunday evening. The poll shows Paul leading Romney by three points and Gingrich by nine points.
