And more...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Record-breaking fund-raiser Howard Dean on Wednesday hinted at the potential to raise millions more for his Democratic presidential bid: Only 1 percent of his donors have given the maximum so far.Dean finished the fund-raising quarter that ended Sept. 30 leading the Democratic field with nearly $15 million raised and about $12 million on hand. His rivals were bunched around $4 million or less, including Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, who fell short of the $4.5 million to $5 million his campaign had estimated he'd raise, and newcomer Wesley Clark, who collected $3.5 million in his first two weeks in the race.

[frank frankly]

5. I haven't come close to maxing out at $2,000

but I will keep sending money when I can. Dean is great!

[Demobrat]

10. Me neither.

I think there are a lot of us out here willing to throw in a few hundred bucks a quarter to buy ourselves our very own president. Our well is deep.

[sfecap]

6. What is notable:

1. The third quarter is historically the weakest quarter.

2. Kerry really came in low. Down from 7 million in the 2nd.

3. Lieberman did well. Interesting.

4. Dean kicked some serious ass.

This will really hurt Gephardt. He needed to really make a good showing this quarter. He'll be perceived as a weak fundraiser. Not good.

[Jacobin]

7. He's got my money......

He'll get the max if it kills me.

[Closer]

8. Kick this mug

:kick:

[ozone_man]

9. Dean grass roots quotient is $73.69.

GRQ = Dollars/People (my definition)

There may be candidates with lower GRQ, but this says alot about his contributors.

"The filing will reflect that the campaign raised $14.8 million in the third quarter from 168,000 Americans contributing an average of $73.69:"

11. Hear that?

It's the sound of the status quo being shattered.

[Kahuna]

12. And yet, he still polls the worse against bush...

Go figure. :eyes: Is this election against the other dems or to unseat bush?

[Classical_Liberal]

15. Polls change

[Bombtrack]

13. I wonder what percent came from republicans

the republicans for Sharpton campaign has most likely shifted to Dean

I really dispise him with every thread of my being

[onebigbadwulf]

14. As soon as...

Dean wins the primaries, I will make a few donations to make sure the weed in the whitehouse is removed.

[JNelson6563]

16. no I in team

grow up

[indigo32]

18. We Know, We Know

though JDNelson gave a better response.

[lostnfound]

17. Go Dennis! At 1.45 it doesn't compare to Dean but..

I'm impressed that he's doing that well considering how un-corporate he is, how little coverage he's getting, and how much his views contrast with popular beliefs of the American electorate.

Plus we know he makes his dollars go a long way.

But GO Dean, too. I've donated to both. Dennis is my A-team but Dean is my backup plan.
