Dean raised 600,000 in the last 48 hours

[Polemonium]

To those who contiue to marginalize Dean and his record breaking grassroots support:

we’ve raised nearly $2 million in the week after Iowa, over $600,000 in the 48 hours

We're not going anywhere.

[jpgray]

1. Nah, forget it

I posted something here, but I should just stay away from this forum.

[Joseph Thule]

2. and? Dean has raised TWICE what anybody else has--and is still losing.

Money doesn't mean much at this point. The voters have spoken.

[PVnRT]

4. Funny, I haven't voted yet

I guess my vote doesn't matter in this thing, huh?

[BattyDem]

7. I haven't voted yet, either.

But apparently, our votes don't count because we don't live in Iowa or New Hampshire. No offense intended toward DUers from either state - but you have to admit, the media does tend to marginalize the rest of us. :)

Anyway, Dean's still raising impressive amounts of money - I don't see how they can report a drop in donations. And hopefully, Roy Neel will put the money to better use.

10. I agree

Indiana's primary is in May. It's almost always declared over before it gets to us, and a bunch of people here are sick of it.

[adadem]

55. That is exactly why

Carl Levin tried, without avail, to get things changed. Senator Levin (MI) feels very strongly about this.

I believe I should be, at least, a rotating system.

[fujiyama]

61. Did he?

He's my senator. Good for him!

I'm not too crazy about the current system either.

[burned]

5. the voters in two states or even ten

determine the future for all 50?

lets just wait and see.

[girl gone mad]

6. The voters have spoken?

Just like Bush said they did in Florida, huh?

[Joseph Thule]

9. huh?

[slinkerwink]

only 10% of delegates have been won through votes.....

what about the other 90%? How dare the 10% of votes speak for the 90% who haven't voted yet?

[Joseph Thule]

16. Kerry has decisively won Iowa and NH. Two huge prizes.

Is Dean even polling 2nd in the Feb 3 states? I would say Clark is more of a threat longterm.

[slinkerwink]

20. kerry only won NH by thirteen points----that's not a huge win

[Joseph Thule]

25. It is when Kerry was declared DEAD. And was behind 30 points at one time

Kerry is the real Comeback Kid.

[slinkerwink]

30. oh, Dean was declared DEAD after the IA "Scream" and came back

from 4th place in NH polls and got a second place win within a week.....if it had been a couple more days, Dean would've been much closer to Kerry, within five or six points.

[Joseph Thule]

46. Came back to what? Lose 13 points to Kerry?

Dean was double digits up on Kerry for months. Kerry's campaign was declared dead by the media, and he proved them ALL wrong.

[ibegurpard]

48. Again, so what?

Why is it so maddening for you that we want to continue on our quixotic little quest?

[Joseph Thule]

49. It isn't, but the constant Kerry bashing is ridiculous.

[killbotfactory]

51. A Kerry nomination scares me

I think he's the worst viable besides Lieberman.

[ibegurpard]

53. I assume that you missed all the Dean-bashing?

Oh, that's right... it was legitimate criticism. We can't have an unvetted candidate now, can we? :eyes:

[polpilot]

54. Kerry's DLC endorsement is the kiss of death. Pro-war demo v. Bush?

Dean '04...

[RummyTheDummy]

62. That sounds like Lieberman......

Fifth place is third. Okay. Sure.

[ibegurpard]

21. So what?

If I choose to continue to support Dean and send him money, what's it to you?

[girl gone mad]

26. You're calling the race..

long before it's over.

Taking your cues from Jeb Bush, Katherine Harris and Fox News.

[Polemonium]

8. The corporate media has spoken

the largest grassroots campaign the Democrats have seen in recent history continues to be marginalized.

[Joseph Thule]

11. This is a silly argument.

Iowa and NH regularly vote for marginalized type candidates. ie Tsongas, Buchanan, McCain et al. This year I think people are serious about beating Bush. JMO

[Polemonium]

12. A silly argument?

Who runs this country? How was it that electability - the biggest non-issue in modern politics became the main issue in Iowa and New Hampshire? Dean has been electable for five elections, none of these candidates are unelectable, the very idea is a strange invention of the folks who live by selling fear.

[girl gone mad]

Your logic is a little flawed.

Republicans were "serious" about beating Gore. They were "serious" about beating Carter. Both TImes NH picked a guy that didn't win the nom.

[girl gone mad]

29. Your logic is a little flawed.

Republicans were "serious" about beating Gore. They were "serious" about beating Carter. Both TImes NH picked a guy that didn't win the nom.

[Ramsey]

50. I haven't voted yet

In fact, very few people have. Do you always let other people tell you what to do or what to think??

[jmaier]

3. Congratulations!

That is a very, very impressive showing. :toast:

[slinkerwink]

13. thanks!

[patricia92243]

14. They say lack of orginaition was his problem. Now with new guy in charge,

he will help the Dean campaign get everything done in the most efficient manner. AND, the votors HAVe NOT spoken yet. If is insulting to all the other states to act we have to fall in line behind 10 or so states out of 50.

[killbotfactory]

15. Dean has very strong supporters

It's nice to be in such good company.

[Octafish]

17. What happened to the $41 million?

It went to TV ads. Goes to show ... literally.

[FubarFly]

19. We'll spend the next $41 million a little wiser

I promise.

[killbotfactory]

23. What happened to Kerry's millions?

???

[stickdog]

38. Shitty Trippi TV ads. Kerry had much better ads.

How much cash on hand does Kerry have after paying all of his current debts?

[Ramsey]

52. Incorrect

Do you make a habit of making uninformed statements? The Dean campaign has spent about $10 million on televising ads. The rest has gone to their grassroots wise spread campaign.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

18. $25 of it was from me.

Hangin' in there.

[sistersofmercy]

22. Congratulations Dean supporters!

Amazing dedication and support! This is going to be one hell of a primary season all the way to the convention!

[Duncan Grant]

40. Thanks very much!

If I look up "gracious" in the dictionary, I'm sure I'll see your face!

(thumbing through pages...
Viola! There you are. Told ya.)

But don't be too nice to the Dean people, you'll get a nasty reputation. :evilgrin:

Best to you and the good Senator!

[sistersofmercy]

42. Well...

Aren't you just the sweetest thing! :toast:

[rumguy]

24. it's over...I'm sorry

but Dean is done

[ibegurpard]

27. Well, I'll just keep tilting at that windmill

You don't mind do you?

[rumguy]

28. not at all, have at it...

[sistersofmercy]

31. Please don't....

It's not nice to rain on others parade. Dean is not done and I for one don't want him to be done. He brings a great deal of life to the party and debate. It wasn't long ago when various people were declaring Kerry, Edwards and Clark over, it's not over for any of the candidates.

[rumguy]

36. He has a future...that I agree on...

I think his best moments are ahead of him.

I just think this campaign is over...

[mzmolly]

39. Done? Watch history in the making. Watch an amazing grass roots campaign

take over a campaign funded by a billionaire.

And, remember you heard it here first~!

Like the sigline, been feeling that way myself.

[Polemonium]

47. When less than 10% of the votes are cast

It's too early to call this thing.

[formactv]

32. Dean has the most delegates!

[xultar]

33. Boom shacka lacka lacka! n/t

[slinkerwink]

34. di dada di dada di dada la di dada di dada di dada la.........

;-)

[arewethereyet]

35. how true

you are NOT going anywhere.

Good money after bad. The fat lady HAS sung.

[Polemonium]

59. The corporate media has sung

which I suppose is the fat lady. The question is why can the fat lady live with a Kerry candidacy. Corporate America will embrace Kerry, has embraced Kerry. The American people, the grassroots will contiue to be marginalized, no suprise there really except that you seem to buy into it.

[RummyTheDummy]

64. Funny....I didn't read much guff from the Dean supporters

Here this summer and fall when the "corporate media" was all but performing oral on Dr. Dean and ignorning every other canidate in the race.
Sounds like sour grapes to me. Either that or the death rattle of a failed campaign.

[mzmolly]

37. It helps to raise money from the *people* when you cant finance your

own campaign. ;)

GO DEAN!

[pacifictiger]

44. I think Dean will take over the

comeback-kid title. There is another 6 months till the convention, and with that fire-in-the-belly sense of injustice for the people of this country, I have a feeling Dean will give it his all. His low key family life tells shows me authenticity that he's in it for the good of the country not the glory. And that passion will drive him to endure and perform. I must say, although would not wish at all for any relapse, I do have a small nagging worry a little bit about Kerry's health with the strain of campaigning so long and hard.

[jadesfire]

56. Except he can't pay his staff

they've been asked to take a two week pay break.

[killbotfactory]

57. They're getting ready for a blitzkrieg after feb 3rd

And they are obviously not going to be raising much in the meantime.

[Clark Can WIN]

41. I think it's great that he's able to do this

Even though I want Clark to take the nomination I think it's terribly important for Dean to make it to the convention. Definately.

[ibegurpard]

43. Thanks!

:yourock:

[Clark Can WIN]

45. Your welcome. The only one I REALLY want to drop out is Joe

All of the rest of our candidates have important things to say. Joe just makes us all look like brown nosing, delusional idiots.

[Nazgul35]

58. You'd think people would be thrilled....

that Dems can raise this kind of cash!

I know I have been kicking in $20 a month (see my sig) for the eventual nominee, and I started long before Dean was the front runner!

By the time of the convention is should be about $120.00, I also plan to kick in an additional $100 to the nominee....

I just have to say that the continual pissing on people's pride in this accomplishment is not very smart considering the fundraising prowess of the repubs....

If you piss off all these good people, how are you going to raise cash to compete against Bush?!

If not the people...than back to the special interests again?

[RetroLounge]

60. Kick

:kick:

[Feanorcurufinwe]

63. "We're not going anywhere." - I think you're right.

Dean caught the Joe-mentum and he's going Joe-where.

[ibegurpard]

65. Thanks for kicking the good news!

:hi:

[joshcryer]

66. Heheh, you're so funny. =D

=D
