[pruner]

4. were you there?

[sfecap]

6. Pruner...

Thanks for recap on the Avalon event. Sounds like it was a terriffic event.

Sorry I couldn't be there, I wanted to come!

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

8. I wish I could have been there!

I got those pictures off the blog. I live in Vegas, and will spend my money donating to the Dean campaign instead of flying somewhere to see him. He actually is coming to Vegas next month, and my husband and I are already saving up for the $100 cocktail party. Wouldn't miss seeing him in person if at all possible!

[pruner]

9. I highly recommend volunteering at that LV event if you can

I can't even begin to describe how good it felt to take such an active part in the "democratic process".

15. Do you have any pictures?

7. Joe Trippi blog post regarding the bat

We set the goal at $5 million over the next 10 days. The truth is that there are now over 410,000 Dean supporters and if each contributed $100 it would raise $41 million for our campaign and change America's politics forever. We know that not everyone can afford $100, but please spread the word and contribute whatever you can afford. If each of the 410,000 of us contributes what we can -- we can change everything. I am one of our maxed out contributors so I am going to go out and recruit a new contributor to put in what they can afford.

The time is now -- towards the end of the month we will reveal the total about raised so far as we make a final push towards an historic quarter for any Democrat.

By placing the goal at $5million in ten days and by doing so publicly we have once again put the future of this campaign and our cause where it is supposed to be....in your hands.

We can defeat George Bush. Now is the time to make it clear that there is one campaign who can compete against his Pioneers and Rangers -- a campaign of the American people in the cause of their democracy.

Dean for America is that campaign, and you are Dean for America.

Thank you for everyday, and every hour and every contribution you have made in time, energy, committment and money to our common cause.

10. JESUS already 30,000 in ONE HOUR!

GO DEAN!

[FubarFly]

11. Just donated. Never felt better.

:-)

[LoZoccolo]

12. You know we're all waiting...

...for the next seven minutes for the next update!

[Sean Reynolds]

13. Not as large 3,000 in one hour.

But it's late, so yeah!

[FubarFly]

14. It'll pick up come tomorrow. Also, they don't factor in the mail-in

donations right away. $5 million is an audacious goal, but there is no doubt in my mind that it can be accomplished.

[UnapologeticLiberal]

23. Do they count mail-in donations toward the bat?

I thought it was just for online fundraising.

24. You know, I just assumed they would count everything.

I apologize if I made an error.

[deutsey]

16. Just contributed...

The next 10 days will be veeerry interesting...

[CMT]

17. over $100,000 now

to be presise, $119,274.33 from 1,179 contributors. To do the $5 million in ten days we need an average of $500,000 per day. My guess is that towards the end we will get lots of last minute contributions.

[killbotfactory]

18. Almost 150k

And I just helped it move up.

You must obey the bat!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

19. I bet some differ with that.

"Damn that Howard Dean!"

[indigo32]

20. I tossed some in today

will reevaluate next weekend... should be able to put more in.

:)

[DJcairo]

26. I guess you're hoping it improves...

[arcos]

27. it will... n/t

[MercutioATC]

28. Hey, he's raised more money today than any of the other Dem candidates...

I haven't seen Trippi miss one yet but do it or not, I'm still pleased with the fundraising.

[CMT]

31. plus this $5 million goal is just icing on the cake

Dean passed the '95 Clinton fund raising record weeks ago.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

29. How's the "Hammer" hangin'?

[MercutioATC]

34. Hammer - $99,503......Bat - $335,138 (in the first 25 hours)

How long has Kerry been doing that hammer thing???

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

35. Couple weeks?

:shrug:

[CMT]

30. what do you mean "hoping if it improves"??

that is an awesome showing. Looked at the Kerry Hammer lately?

[RevolutionStartsNow]

32. Yeah, $300k in one day sucks. Huh?

Man the bitterness on this board is palpable tonight.

Honestly, I'm having a great time working for Dean, but I can't wait for this part to be over so we can all get behind the same guy, whoever that ends up being. Then we can start directing our scorn at Bush again.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

33. Yep.
