1. Outstanding news!
"We have been absolutely overwhelmed by the response to Sen. Edwards' strong finish in Iowa," said Edwards' senior strategist Joe Trippi. "We're on track for our best online fundraising day ever, since www.JohnEdwards.com went up a year ago - and half of the contributions we're seeing are from new donors to the campaign. That speaks volumes to the strength of John Edwards' message of standing up and fighting for the middle class."

The campaign first saw an uptick in online fundraising late last night, as the results from Iowa's first-in-the-nation contest began rolling in. The surge continued overnight, and by 8:45am ET this morning the campaign's online contributions had already topped the previous day's day-long total. Between the hours of 10:00am and 11:00am ET today, the campaign experienced its best online fundraising hour ever.

Also noteworthy about Edwards' online fundraising totals today:

* Half of those who have contributed are first-time donors to the campaign
* More than ninety percent (92.6%) of today's online contributions are for amounts less than $100

My own interpretation of this happy news: people who previously thought no one could stop the Hillary machine now have more confidence and want to support the candidate they believe is best.

That's great.... when he got a bit of exposure, things happened.

Thanks for posting that good news.
