Kerry is closer to Bush than he is to Dean in how he raises money. Doesn't that bother you? Over half of his contributions are $2k+. 12% or less comes from $200 or less in contributions. Doesn't that bother you? Meanwhile, over 55% of Deans donations are $200 or less. Doesn't that inspire you? 13% of his donations are of the $2000 variety. Kerry receives over 4X as many of his donations from the wealthy as Dean does. Doesn't that bother you? Who's going to have a say in the Kerry campaign? Over half can afford to donate $2000. They'll have the say. Over half of Dean's supporters are of the $200 or less variety. They'll have the say. Free your mind (and free up that $101, even if it is in dimes).
