Howard Dean's $$$
On other boards, I saw a lot of comments claiming Dean was some stooge for RW special interests because he has accepted donations from some corporations or buisnessman types.
Face it---Dean's money mostly comes from small donors, activists, Liberal PACs and trade Unions. Those are the groups greasing Dean's palm.
Bush is the candidate for RW special interests. They want to discredit the democrats as a whole as much as possible. Listen to Sean Hannity and then come back. They are extremely hostile to everyone but Lieberman.

1. $$ is verifiable
But of course a "journalist" like Hannity doesn't bother with such details. He is such an ass.

4. Hannity is an A$$, not a journalist...
Can anybody find Hannity's Resume and post it here? If he has a gold Resume like Christian Amanpor's, I'll call him a journalist.

2. RWPundits
It is clear that right-wing pundits do fear Dean. He is the kind of guy to inspire a large voter turnout, and that always spells doom for Republicans.
Dean is the guy who can draw out the people who've given up, the minimum wagers who want a living wage, those with concern about the environment, and health care and insurance issues.
His average contribution was about $77 dollars. I helped drive that down with a $25 contribution.
Why have the poorest been ignored? They don't give to campaigns. Even $5 or $10 will add up to an awful lot, if they'd just understand that contributions don't have to be huge. Give what you can, and maybe Dean will pay attention to real people's needs, rather than corporations. I have a good feeling about him, that I don't get from any of the others.
