They like to cover their bases. Besides, Dean's current average contribution is $76. How much government influence can be bought for $76? I don't even know that influence can be bought for $2000. What * has done is get people to get other people to give $2000. They call those people pioneers or rangers or something.

So he wants 2,000,000 people to give $100. You think $100 buys influence? I think the idea is brilliant and as a former union leader in my school district, I KNOW I can get a lot of the 600 teachers I know to write checks for whatever amount they want.

I also don't buy the argument that Democrats don't have any money. The area I live in voted 80% for Gore and their are tens of thousands of people here living in half million dollar homes.
