4. this makes me smile

In the midst of an administration that has taken away
our rights as citizens, the power of the Internet and
the citizenry prevails.

7. Keep working!!!

Good things will happen!!!

[AnnabelLee]

9. This is absolutely amazing

Can you imagine if Dean can continue to raise funds at this rate?

[CSI Willows]

10. Wooohooo!

Yay!
But it's sad that Bush has earned so much more :mad:

[RetroLounge]

11. Yes but with less contributors.

More individuals = more votes!

(that of course assumes he won't steal the election again)

14. ahahahahahahahaha

Wooooohooo and welcome to the DU!!!

12. This is what is so amazing about this campaign....

Last night, when it became apparent that the 250K goal would be met, the bloggers over at the Dean site started asking for ANOTHER bat. They set the goal at 500K, not the Dean team! Dean's supporters challenged themselves!

This is what the enthusiasm, excitement and enery of the Dean campaign is all about! People Powered Howard!

Simply amazing....

13. We're watching History, folks...

...wholesale online fundraising from ordinary people trumps the sinister, fatcat-only, $2000-a-plate, Bush-Cheney sleaze-a-thon.

And at a $50 average contribution, Dean doesn't need a shower when its over.

[schultzee]

21. Since Kerry's little"move on comment" I have donated 3 times to Dean.

We don't need a DLC corporate darling like Lieberman. I started out supporting Kerry but switched to Dean.

[sfecap]

15. You did it!

You Did It!

From Robert's first questioning if Burlington had gotten timid, to the suggestion that Governor Dean enjoy a sandwich while blogging today, the Dean Team vs Bush-Cheney fundraising challenge has been an amazing demonstration of how a Presidential campaign can interact with the grassroots -- and how individuals who believe in each other and work in common purpose can make a difference.

The bat is a symbol of what can happen when power is placed where it rightly belongs, in the hands of the people. A few days ago the bat was placed in your hands, and 9,568 Dean supporters responded with over $507,150.31 in contributions to Dean for America.

There is no way that our campaign would be where it is today without your hard work and support.

Thank you for making this Dean Team Challenge a huge success, beyond what the timid among us in Burlington thought we could do (yes even me).

Today you proved once again that this is the great grassroots campaign of the modern era.

We will continue to post updates until 1am eastern time.

Again, thank you.

From a campaign that, a few months ago, was hopeful it could get $10 million together to run the entire race.
