$6 million in 24 hours...

Median donation amount: $50
Number of donors this quarter: 100,000+
Number of first-time donors this quarter: 26,000+

Continued amazed reaction by traditional press and other candidates: priceless

... a record campaign windfall for someone who's allegedly "unelectable." Tell me again why we listen to these pundits?

Now, if he'll just join forces with Kucinch you can have my vote too!

Not likely -- the two diagnose the same problem sets, but prefer different solutions. Still, they can both advance the public discussion from their respective lanes.

My point exactly. Both Paul and Kucinich support ending the Iraq War. But their domestic policy outlook is vastly different; Paul is a libertarian free market advocate. Kucinich wants a single-payer government health care system, among other government programming (and yet MSNBC says he supports the Constitution?!?). The two views are irreconcilable, which is why I chuckled when I'd heard Kucinich invited Paul to be a potential running mate.
