Presumptive Democratic Nominee Fund
President

Contributions will be sent to the Democratic nominee once he or she has won enough pledged delegates to receive the nomination on the first ballot at the convention.

"electable".

Regarding ActBlue in general, Edwards has the option to donate either through an in-house link or an ActBlue link on his homepage, but from what I recall, on the supporters blog site, hosted by the campaign, the link goes through ActBlue.

That may have been by popular demand, to support progressive netroots infrastructure ... I know that Kissell was very popular on the site during the 2006 campaign back when it was the OneAmericaCommittee Blog, and ActBlue was useful in his campaign.

Rather than directly to the campaigns. Read the line at the bottom.

My donations only go straight to Hillary's campaign. Not to a third party.

Skinner asked us to go through the DU Act Blue page, so I do that from time to time.

And I think this whole thing just shows the national media has no clue who really has the support of grass roots democrats.

I just link to the donation page from whatever e-mail I get asking for donations. It doesn't go through Act Blue.

either on DU, or overall. Edwards has over 10 times the overall donations of the next highest - which is Richardson. Meanwhile , Dodd comfortably outraises Clinton, and isn't that far off Obama. :shrug:

:shrug:

Money goes to money.

But Clinton gets money from Federal Lobbyists whose full time job is to influence status quo and corporate welfare.

If you REALLY want to undermine Edwards, you should try criticism that is smart, or at least plausible.

I'd never give a cent to Fauxgressive Johnny Edwards, and I want a refund from Barack Donnie McObama.

often it's Edwards as the winner followed by Kucinich
It's repeated often that Hillary's in the lead and she's going to win.
I don't believe that. I really question how they get their data.

Unlike Hillary, Obama, and Kucinich?

Setting aside the verb and one of the nouns you chose, do you believe the netroots are wrong?

I was unaware of that.

DU'ers...:yourock: :headbang:

Are there many like you in your union who support Edwards despite it endorsing Clinton?

In my plant (my local covers 3/4 of the state), nobody I have talked to is happy with the AFSCME endorsement of Senator Clinton. Remember I am in a red and right to work state.

He's not in bed with the corporations so he's not "viable."

Like hell he's not....I think he'd have a lot of appeal in the south and among rural voters, as well as big city folks like me.
