Yup.

Early money matters.

A good fundraising operation can take that $100K and turn it into $1 million over the course of a one-year campaign.

BlueDogger Ellen Tauscher’s doing the exact same thing. She was on the front page of yesterday’s NYT spewing very similar crap in an effort to disparage the fifty-state strategy and Dean (and us, who are the biggest backers thereof).

I think you are underestimating the total $ raised by the netroots.

I have not given any $ through act blue but have sent $ directly to chosen candidates. I’m sure I represent the tip of the iceberg.

Yup, me too. $1500 and counting so far this season.

Kos has more good polling news for Webb. It will be nice to wave bye bye to G. Felix Macaca Allen. Webb’s got the big MO now. Let’s hope he can keep it going.

The sooner we through Ramit Emmanuell under the bus the better. And…

OT: just saw this at Salon.com:

Money trails lead to Bush judges

I don’t believe that $44,000 would convince Bush to do anything. Ideology would come first, devotion and abject loyalty to the King and Movement second.

44 large is peanuts to these clowns.

It’s not the amount that’s important. It’s a g.d. smoking gun (a howitzer really) of Bush selling his office — impeachable by anybody’s measure.
