Proving again his ability to raise significant cash online, Ron Paul has raised nearly $2 million since midnight via his website.

"Supporters have spontaneously organized what I can only refer to as a one-day attack of donations," said Paul spokeswoman Kate Rick. "We started at midnight with $2.77 million raised for the quarter, and have, as of 9:36 am, climbed up to over $4.1."
As of 12:27, Paul had raised $4.73 million total....
*Update*
He cracked 7 million around 10:30pm CST
