This is meaningless in terms of his chances to win. Ron Paul once raised $4 million in 24 hours, then later beat that and raised $6 million in 24 hours, and we never saw a Ron Paul inauguration. Both of those events were heavily reported in the news, but he didn't even make it out of the primaries.

Bernie Sanders seems like a consistent, principled politician, which is rare and refreshing to see, but he's not going to be our next president.

Yeah, I think RP's money raising kind of shows that it really doesn't make too huge of a turnout on votes. And to be honest, I don't think I ever heard the same kind of support for RP as Bernie is currently having.
