  Largest single day online Ron Paul fundraiser: $6.2 million
  Largest single day Barack Obama fundraiser: Errrrmmmm....a lot less.
Of course, if you want to get semantic, I suppose you could say Barack Obama's done a better job using the Internet; the Internet has done more in the way of using Ron Paul.

Not to bag on RP, who is a very interesting candidate, but those fundraising numbers are pretty misleading.

Let's look at the totals (http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/)

Barak Obama - $265,439,277 Ron Paul - $34,442,643

The comment I was responding to was solely about the Internet. Barack Obama has done much more in the way of the traditional $2000 dinner events, while probably 90% of Ron Paul's funds came over the Internet.
