13. it's really a people-powered campaign......

;-)

[killbotfactory]

12. Woohoo!

Happy Dean Year!

[tsipple]

14. OK, Here's Something to Ponder...

Bill Clinton raised $17.0 million in the 3rd and 4th quarters of 1995 combined. As a sitting president. With no primary opposition.

Dean supporters are now at $15.0 million and climbing for a single quarter, the 4th quarter of 2003, in a nine-way race for the White House with a sitting Republican president.

[slinkerwink]

16. and in Clinton's Q4, his donations dropped 40 percent....

whereas Dean BEAT his own record....

[tsipple]

17. Yes, That's a Very Astute Observation

Per this thread, which took a slightly earlier look at Dean supporters' fundraising performance, Clinton's fundraising dropped off 36% from 3rd quarter to 4th quarter of 1995, from $10.36 million to $6.63 million.

Gore's fundraising fell by more than 44% from 3rd quarter to 4th quarter of 1999, from $7.34 to $4.07 million.

In comparison, as I write this, Dean supporters have boosted the 4th quarter at least +1.5% over the record-busting 3rd quarter. And the 4th quarter still isn't over.

Incredible job, everyone! Keep calling friends, family, independents -- anybody who might help.

15. Congrats, Dean supporters!

Good work. :)
