2. Everyone I know is waiting to donate after he wins the primaries.

I'm glad he has this momentum though!

4. Remember

One can only donate a maximum of $2,000 during the primaries
and
a maximum of $2,000 during the general
to each candidate.

3. awesome...

what intrigues me is the possibility I've heard thrown around of two million people contributing $100 each for the general election...

Dean knows how to raise the moola!

5. when the decision to opt-out was made…

I was hoping they'd do things like this… bring out a bat to raise money for a specific commercial or to try a new campaign tactic.

it's totally brilliant.

6. Wow

That is very impressive! Even if Dean loses he certainly has changed the way campaigning is done--for the better. :bounce:

7. COOL!

I've given about $100 so far, in $25 increments. I ain't rich, sorry.

I think Dean is wonderful in campaign mode. Needs work in debates, but he has the most spark and charisma of these guys. He's NOT divisive, and really connects with people when he's not being attacked relentlessly by the other candidates.
