November 8, 2007 By

Republican Presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul, described in media reports as an "online force with a libertarian perspective," made U.S. electoral history Monday with a single-day fundraising total of some $4.2 million. In 24 hours, 36,672 unique donors contributed over $4 million online, and over $200,000 offline.

According to the Paul campaign, Monday's effort shatters the previous single-day online primary election fundraising record set by John Kerry's $2.7 million following Super Tuesday in 2004.

It is also the biggest fundraising day for any candidate this election cycle, said the Paul campaign, surpassing Mitt Romney's FEC-documented record $3.1 million, which he raised on January 8, 2007, and Hillary Clinton's FEC-documented $1.9 million on March 28, 2007, which was her largest single-day haul.
