how much do you think Dean will raise this quarter?

it's been reported by the Associated Press that he raised $5 million in October.

in the past week or so he's raised or received pledges (from the 100.000+ people that voted about opting in/out) in excess of $5.3 million.

I'm gonna guess he raises $22.8 million in Q4.

what are your thoughts?

so I think we will. He will break his own record of $14.8 million. I think he will raise around $20 million.

I had no idea we Dean supporters were capable of this kind of fundraising.

I'll say $15 million to be a little cautious (!), but who knows?

He said that not only did he believe that 2,000,000 Americans would donate $100 to defeat George Bush, he thought that they would even borrow $100 to defeat George Bush. His mouth is a loose cannon. I like it.

:bounce:

and yes it is a guess!

But late Q1 and early Q2 of 2004 should be great...tax refund time!

<evil genius>

100 hundred BILLION dollars!

</evil genius>

my check for $100 (as one of the 2 million who will contribute to his campaign since he's opted out of the public financing)will be to him next week. :-)

for morale

Perhaps more after some major endorsements

then one has to wonder if he won't end up coming damn close to Bush's expected $200M. Especially considering that his base of contributors is likely to grow as other dem candidates drop out. I mean, he's raising this kind of money while at about 15% in the national polls.

$21,374,153.52

rounded numbers are boring

1776/04/07

fun number.

$16.5 million....

It just sounds good. Anyway, if he can get me to donate, then I think he's onto something.

My first donation to the Dean campaign was 5 bucks--my first donation to a political campaign EVER. That's all I had, and though I was embarrassed to give such a measly amount, it felt damn good! My second was $25, and I've kept upping it since. I'm up to $190 now--not a bad accomplishment for a poor tightwad. He's getting $100 a month from me as of November, because I voted for the opt out, and now I'm committed. I'm going to try and dig up any other spare change I can come up with on top of that. I'm also considering taking a parttime job so I can max out on my donations. I want Bush gone REAL BAD.
