Yesterday Rand Paul's online "money bomb" raised more than $430,000 in honor of his father Ron Paul's birthday and, more importantly, to fund his campaign for the Republican senatorial nomination in Kentucky. The campaign has now raised more than $680,000 in total, mostly from small donors. Paul supporters hope to raise $2 million to wrest the nomination away from party favorite Trey Grayson.
