1. This breaks all records

for any candidate in any election at anytime in history. Not to mention THIS early. Unbelievable!

2. It is from Sept. 20 on

you will see the geometric multiplication effect start to kick in.
Keep it up, everybody. Our own Meetup has split into two; the new one has grown almost as large as the old one in less than three weeks!

5. Meetup numbers growing every day

Heck, we've been asked to move the Dean meetups out of one venue because there were *too many people* .. well over 100. We had to ration out bumper stickers. Gun-owning Republicans got first dibs. :)

6. Whew

I was starting to get concerned the campaign wouldn't reach the 450,000 mark by the end of Sept. when the tally was creeping up by only 2,000 or 3,000 a day. By now I know I should Trust In Trippi. They'll get the job done. I've signed up a handful of people myself.

10. Amazing!

If the rumored link between Dean and Wes Clark happens, the 2004 elections are in the bag for us!
Dean is on fire, with one of the most succsessful democratic insurgencies ever and Wes Clark is virtually unbeatable in any debate. On the military, foreign affairs, security, even economics Wes Clark could tear through Bushco like crap through a goose.
