We did it ! $711.595.03 For Dean in One Day ! Congrats Deaners !

[Hoppin_Mad]

"You blew out the top, you raised the roofbeams, you cracked the bat and broke the goal, you showed how strong and deep and powerful you are -- 10,197 of you contributed and filled the Win Wisconsin bat to the brim, raising $711,595.

As Roy said tonight, "you sent the strongest response: We WILL win Wisconsin, and then we'll catapult into the biggest states with the momentum to carry us to the nomination."

And that was at 6 PM, before you brought in another $200,000!

It's already your best fundraising day of the year. You beat the record set during the September to Remember. You broke all kinds of records, too, setting the record for the second biggest fundraising day of the year, bringing in new people, showing your deep, powerful will. And you re-energized all of us to work harder, do more, stay later and fight harder -- to dig down to our deepest reserves and fight for the future of the country.

You just put $700,000 on the air in Wisconsin, the state the Governor must and will win.

Now, let's put $700,000 on the ground. We're going all-out in Wisconsin, and that means being on the air AND building the strongest field operation on the ground.

We doubled the bat -- you've got Dean on the air, now can you get us on the ground?

Wisconsin's state motto is "Forward!"

Si, Se Puede!

1. All for one and one for all. Go Team Howard!

:loveya:

[PassingFair]

I hoping for a good showing here in MI

Beginning to think that most democrats don't DESERVE to be represented by Dr. Dean. I've called a couple hundred people, and very few have been strong Kerry supporters, people who want Dean have had their minds made up for some time. My personal poll has "I haven't given it much thought yet" 75% / Dean ahead (15%), followed by Clark (2%), and then Kerry and "Who's that nice boy from the south, he reminds me of John Kennedy?..."
The vast majority have yet to make up their minds (the caucus is THIS saturday) They don't know that Michigan is a caucus state, they don't know where or when to vote, and these are registered dems!
Regardless what happens in Michigan and Wisconsin, I thank Howard Dean for making me proud to be a democrat, if only for a year, and I thank him for inspiring me to get involved in local politics.
Perhaps the next election cycle will be freer of bullshit.

GO HOWARD, WE ARE WITH YOU!

[BootinUp]

2. Wow, Congratulations

I guess you folks are fired up then Huh?

[xultar]

[ozone_man]

[girl gone mad]

9. "the ugly"

I think you are confusing DU with the Free Republic.

[mzmolly]

10. LOL, we've got 10 million er uhm I mean 10,700,000.00 plus in the bank.

:hi:

[GumboYaYa]

26. I love it.

You put a big smile on my face.

[EXE619K]

15. DJ....

Aren't you that "Fair Weather Voter for John Kerry"?

[nankerphelge]

18. Whatever

You've clinched it - I won't vote for Kerry in the general election - it's Dean or I'll vote Green.

[MercutioATC]

19. Again, please provide a link. Dean's campaign is NOT in debt.

If you have other information, please provide it.

[arcos]

22. You are unbelievable...

I'm really sorry for you.

[LiberalBushFan]

8. pretty f-in amazaing, i must say n/m

[dae]

11. WOW, you people rock for a campaign that's supposed to be dead...

:yourock::thumbsup:

[MercutioATC]

20. Thanks! Congrats on the train's progress, too!

[slinkerwink]

27. so do you guys!

:hi:

[janx]

28. In an important way, we guys and you guys are fighting

for the same thing. :hi:

[texasmom]

12. Yay!!!

I am so glad to see this. I don't want the media and powerful interests (including those within our own party) to choose our nominee.

[madfloridian]

24. That is exactly what Dean said on TV.

He said he is staying in because he wants the people to choose the nominee, not the media. He said 41 states had not had an input yet.

That is what he is doing.

[LuminousX]

13. You are all amazing!

I can't tell you how this makes me feel. I woke up this morning really feeling like it was all over. NOW, god, I feel like it is just starting!!

[EllieDem]

14. Maybe Dean will be more fiscally responsible this time

like he claims he was in Vermont.

[EXE619K]

16. Yes! Especially, when the "claim" is the truth!

But, I know how hard it is for some of you to know that....

[LuminousX]

23. May the energy you give to the universe be visited upon you threefold.

[MercutioATC]

29. I love that!

Nice, karmically-sound wish

:)

[Duncan Grant]

30. Brilliant! Thanks LuminousX.

37. I went to one of the Meetups in Rochester, NY last night

that little town has at least 2 if not 3 thinking that the crowd would be thin. I was pleasantly surprised to find more people there than at the last one and lots of new, young energetic faces. It was good for me, because as hard as I tried not to be I was becoming discouraged. Not anymore. I donated to the bat when this month things are pretty tight. That's ok, we can live on hot dogs and love as long as there is a chance to take our country back.

[Anwen]

17. Si, Se Puede!

WAY TO GO Dean supporters!!!! :yourock: Keep cracking the bat, Dean isn't out of this yet! :)

[jmaier]

21. Ok, Dean Supporters

This is one AMAZING performance -- CONGRATULATIONS! :toast:

[He loved Big Brother]

25. Howard Dean = HEAD ONWARD!

DEAN in 2004!

[Tim_in_HK]

31. Wow. That is amazing.

Congratulations.

[bhunt70]

32. impressive.

[TheWebHead]

33. so he'll have plenty of $ to bash our eventual nominee

[FubarFly]

38. Why would Dean bash himself?

Guess poor old Mr McAuliffe should have called the dogs off Dean when he had the chance. :shrug:

[nini]

35. If he doesn't get the nomination... He'd be the perfect Dem leader

He'd be great in Mc Aullifes' spot.
This guy can motivate like crazy and keep the issues in the spotlight. He's definitely not gonna buckle down to the other side!

[Hoppin_Mad]

36. Thanks to all the Clarks for your comments ! HD/WC/DK = Grassroots -nt-

[hellhathnofury]

39. I've never been prouder to be with Dean than today.

If we fail the Democratic winner can expect hell once he takes office. Never again will I let my party roll over like a dead dog.

[Tinoire]

40. Congratulations! I never thought the Dean machine would be out

of fuel for too long!

[ResistTheCoup]

41. Major Congrats Deanies!!!

I really admire your drive, fortitude and conviction for your candidate!!

His supporters speak volumes for the good Doctor!!

Best of luck in Wisconsin and beyond!!

:toast:
:yourock:

[corporatewhore]

42. cool even though i dont like dean too much he needs to stay in the race

I love him because he doesnt care about being percieved as impolite I loved it when he told Wolfie to his face the news media is there only for entertainment Wolfie suddenly has the mmost priceless expression on his face(omg youve got to be shittin me he called it out for what it is)
I also am not suprised Dean has had the best campaign/grassroots structure That can be used by activists well after 2004

[juajen]

43. OMG, that's really wonderful

Congratulations Dean supporters. I knew you wouldn't let your guy down. Now come on Clark supporters. He needs help in Tennesee. Do your thang!

[DebJ]

44. kick n/t
