1. And $869,735 raised in the last 19hrs (midnight to 7pm EDT).

Smack that bat!

5. Any bets on where it will end?

16 million, 17?

6. I just made my $15 donation!!!! HOW ABOUT YOU???

It is better than nothing and anyone who does not donate and supports Dean should know better.

ANY amount helps

2. It feels like Christmas

It really does. I'm giddy with excitement and anticipation!

3. 14,409,073 as of 8est

600,000 more.

Will people be able to donate after seeing Leno and make it before midnight. I sure hope so. This rules.

4. He has just raised over $100,000 dollars in the last hour

If we keep up this rate for another half hour we will have done just over a million dollars worth of busines. Still have a mil to go on the bat 'though.

8. Wow! I am going to wait until about 11PM EDT and donate again.

I love the bat! Did you guys hear the Dean conference call? It was great! Melissa Etheridge introduced him.

11. Jesus, it kills me how people can wait until the last few hours!

I couldn't do it. I contributed this morning. I was afraid something would go wrong, like my Internet service would go out or something.:silly:

13. You couldn't do it.

I contributed within the first five minutes. And every day after that when I went back to check the bat. I don't know how people can wait until now. I guess I'm just a much softer touch.

7. McCain's record of $1Mil in a day is toast

Also, Dean for sure has the $15Mil by now, with the donations that are likely sitting in envelopes in the office. Not to mention the money to come in from House Parties. Can't wait to see the final numbers.

9. not to mention tonight's LA fundraiser

featuring Martin Sheen and Rob Reiner.

[Demobrat]

10. I think that's what's being added in now

and making it jump so fast. They had to bring in teams of volunteers to count the paper checks, and I imagine that what we're seeing is their hard work trying to make it before the LA rally. Go check-counting volunteers!!!

12. If you're really worried about Bush....

Give now. Don't wait "to see what happens" The people who built this country, so that we can have free discussion boards like this one, didn't wait. They risked "lives, property, and sacred honor."

Yes, the stakes are THAT high.

I posted this on one of the comment threads on http://blogforamerica.com:

You incredible people. You real patriots, who don't depend on waving to flag to do it:

No matter what happens tonight, I LOVE you. We are the next American Revoluion, and we WILL do this thing.

They said Dean was "too liberal" We know better.

They said his supporters (that's us!) were wild-eyed fanatics. Until they saw Republicans, Greens, Independents supporting this campaign, because whatever the label is, we're patriots.

They said we had no chance. June proved them wrong. Sleepless Summer Tour Proved them wrong. And tonight, we'll prove them wrong YET AGAIN.

They say that Clark's entry into the race means this campaign is dead. We know better.

We're the Revolutionaries, because we know how high the stakes are. Just like our Founding Fathers did. In their names, in the names of the people who risked everything, including their lives, to build this country...this wonderful land we all America...please. Give. Click here to donate through my Dean Team page. Or the Bat. Or give through your favorite Dean Team Leader. You'll never make a better investment.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ethan Allan, Daniel Shay, John Adams, many many others may well be watching.If they are, I'm willing to bet they're CHEERING US ON.

LET'S TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY!
