3. Gee...where you been?

I thought you'd have been here before this.

How did your candidate do?

6. ummmm....

the $12.4 million is cash on hand....that means it is in the bank....or are you refering to another $12.5 million?

9. He spent 8 million

and raised 15 million, with 12 million left over. Dean has doubled his cash on hand since last quarter.

60% less than $200
11% $1000 - 1999
7% $2000 +

Lets take a look see at another candidate;

Kucinich:

99% Individuals
1% PAC

68% less than $200
6% $1000 - 1999
5% $2000 +

Allowing for the fact that Dean has raised far more money overall,
Dennis' percentages are actually more impressive in the sense that he is drawing from people who are ordinary, working class folk.

5. That's great!

And I submit that the numbers (percentages) aren't that far off. Great for both candidates!

10. What happened to Dean's PAC (or PACs?)?

He started at least one (for travel expenses) about 2 years ago (http://timesargus.com/Legislature/Story/41713.html).

And it still exists: www.fundforahealthyamerica.com

Yet his website says he accepts no PAC money.

So what's the deal?

[sfecap]
