Mean Green Dean Machine
The Howard Dean presidential campaign — seemingly unaffected by the candidate's stammering performance on Meet the Press last week — went supernova over the weekend after a spectacular surge in fundraising. Just read this, and wait for your jaw to drop:
As of 4:30 PM ET, Howard Dean has raised $406,457 online today, bringing our total for the quarter to $6,713,685.That might sound like small potatoes — but consider: just a week ago, the Dean camp had only collected $3.2 million.
A surge like that, ladies and gentlemen, merits just one word: wow.
This dovetails nicely with the point I made in the last post, by the way, about the fundraising power of the Internet. You could hardly prove the Internet's value more vividly than Dean has with his out-of-nowhere campaign. Kudos to him and his team.
