Just to confirm that this is true, I created an account on his site.  When logged in, the total is still $4,600.

That's gotta be embarrassing for Obama.

I would hope not so much for embarrassment, but a realization that guys like him simply can't run without big money...

Are there candidates that CAN run without big money?

I reported that site for objectionable material as it is being used to support Socialism and an empty-suit Marxist.
I do not smoke pot, wear Wookie suits, live in my mom's basement, collect unemployment checks or eat Cheetoes, therefore I am not a Ron Paul voter.

Seems like others are copying the strategy adopted by Ron Paul.

Bwahaha! B'rack Friday is long over, and the grand total is $4,650 from 72 donors--which is probably almost all just seed money they started the day with. Think he'll get the hint and hang up his hat?

Ron Paul's secret isn't a cutesy gimmick. The cutesy gimmick was just an excuse for folks already motivated by his message to get off their butts (like I did). Unlike the Dems in 2, RP nor his supporters will be able to say they "didn't get their message out."
