The Money Is On the Wall (Dean)

[RevolutionStartsNow]

From the MSNBC Dean embed:

THE MONEY IS ON THE WALL
Speaking in the post-debate spin room, Trippi indicated that bags of money are stacked in the Burlington headquarters. Indeed, it seems mail contributions are coming in as fast, if not faster, than Internet contributions. So fast, in fact, that the campaign fears its compliance office will have a hard time reporting all the money before the Oct. 15 filing deadline. Additionally, Trippi noted that the Dean for America Web site is now in the top 25,000 Internet sites in the world. Indeed, the number of daily hits has now topped those of the White House site. Where is all this money going? Some will go into ads to air in New Mexico. In particular, one new television ad features the governor speaking Spanish and will air on Spanish language television.


"Huge bags of money" -- Cool!

Some other good stuff there, too, about the debate, Clark, etc.

1. If there are huge bags of money stacking up over there

somebody needs to let his bloggers know. It's mean to let them fret over the bat when they're probably over the 5 million already.

3. Maybe

But maybe fretting is good, it rallies the troops. The bat has been so productive anyway, an amazing amount of money raised in the first 5 days.

Trippi set the goal ridiculously high, it seemed, but then with the report of cash pouring in through the mail, maybe not so ridiculous.

Going, going, gone!

5. The mail, the $750,000 from the Avalon, the house parties that

haven't happened yet. We'll make it. I'd just like to see that bat moving faster.

2. I love the idea of Dean doing a spanish language commercial

he speaks it pretty well, much better than Bush.

4. Wondering how much is from Repbubs

who want to make sure we have the Dean Debacle in 2004.

6. They're in for a rude shock.

8. Everyone I know

has so much money they are willing to contribute to people they have no plan on supporting just to play games with the political system.

13. Careful, Skwmom might think your serious instead of sarcastic.

The poster does think that thousands of Republicans may be donating hundreds of dollars to Dean for a "Dean Debacle in 2004". He might actually believe your statement, too.

9. That's just silly

and sounds as if you're pea green. I'm sure some repubs are donating but to believe that it's a large number is ridiculous.

[Skwmom]

11. Why is it ridiculous?

The want Dean as the nominee. Funneling Dean money to put him at the head of the pack is mere chump change to the Repubs.

[Demobrat]

12. Rove says he wants Dean as the nominee

and you believe him? Bwahahahahahahahahaha. Thanks. That was a good one.

On edit: Maybe you should do your friend Karl a favor and send Dean some money. Here's the link. http://blog.deanforamerica.com/

14. I have a theory about that

I think that Rove is using Dean as a smokescreen for the candidate he really wants. I am not going to say who because I don't want to start a flamewar, but one day I will post the theory on my blog, so stay tuned.
