Inside Ron Paul NationPatrick RuffiniRon Paul’s supporters have provided a measure of radical transparency into his fundraising that would make most political operatives suffer heart failure. Going well beyond the now-passe end-of-quarter fundraising “bat,” the Paul campaign has set a public goal of $12 million raised for the quarter, posting their current total live on the homepage and including the names and hometowns of donors. If a donation comes in while you’re on the site, you’ll see it update live. As if this weren’t bold enough, RonPaulGraphs.com has taken it a step further. Using the live data feed that powers the graphic, the site publishes an impressive array of analytics including a minute-by-minute view of donations and projected totals for the month and quarter. But that’s not all. The script also captures the name and hometown information for most online donors. A quick analysis of this data gives us the most revealing look yet at who Ron Paul’s donors actually are. . . . Excerpt from PatrickRuffini.com
