Blogburst Update
By Jim Lynch on Jan 10, 2008 in 2008, Fred Thompson
I’m going to use this post to give you a running update of the Blogburst status. Fred needs to raise $540,000 by tomorrow night. The good news, he’s most of the way there!
1/10/08
5pm: $490,393 — $49,607 left to go
6pm: $501,719 — $38,281
7pm: $512,280 — $27,720
8pm: $517,439 — $22,561
9pm: $525,594 — $11,386
10pm: $532,054 — $7,946 With only a half hour to go in the debate.
Good Morning. Some time between the end of the debate and 11pm I fell asleep. Between that time and the time I woke up on the couch around 1:30am we blew past the $540,000 goal. Right now the red truck stands at $584,580! Way to go everyone.
From Fred08.com:
We’re over $512,000. Thanks to your efforts and generosity we’re almost to the $540,000 goal we set to fund a significant media campaign in South Carolina. We hoped to reach it by tomorrow, but I want to do it tonight, a day ahead of schedule.
Can we do it? You bet.

Beautiful. We’re less than 2 full-boat donors from $540K now.

Whoa, that was trippy. I had a weird error message pop up.

That initial comment that triggered the error message is in moderation, so I’ll try again.
Fred08.com is down right now, but right after the debate, we were under $4,000 from the $540,000 goal.
