18. And, according to Open Secrets, a whopping $1,000 of Dean's money

came from business-related PACs. Out of $25 million. He's received a total of $16,500 in any PAC money. Out of $25 million.

Yes, some of Dean's contributors are corporate executives. Guess what? I'm sure some corporate executives have donated to DK as well. Ben and Jerry technically are corporate executives.

We're hardly talking corporate sponsorship here.

Look, I'm not knocking DK's ideals. Good for him. I hope he continues to do well in bringing in the donations he wants, and bring an important message to the people.

But I wish he wouldn't bring up that either-or, no-difference-between-Rs-and-Ds rhetoric (posted in the intital post) that isn't helping and really isn't accurate.
