On Monday at noon, Vice President Dick Cheney hosted a $2,000/plate fundraising lunch, getting supporters to pony up a total of $300,000.
Beginning late last Thursday, Howard Dean’s campaign launched a drive to outpace Cheney, mainly through contributions over the Internet. By the time Cheney’s lunch started, they had raised $344,000 from 6,558 donors. As of 1:30 a.m. today, the total brought in for Dean from this drive was $508,000.
How cool is that?
Cool as a cucumber.
i dunno – just sounds like two guys in a pissing contest to me.
bj just defined politics.
BJ: It is sort of a pissing contest. But in this case, it matters who wins. A lot. And Dean’s emphasis on small donors, on everyday people getting involved in his campaign, does matter.
