Howard Dean set an all-time record in the 3rd Quarter when he raised over
$14.8 million in small contributions, averaging $79 each.

Now, in the 4th Quarter, he's beaten his own record by raising
$15,341,626.88 in small contributions, and that's just as of 9 pm ET. And
they'll still be tallying the checks that have been mailed in on Friday -
Saturday.

Dean has also set a record of over $40 million raised in a pre-election
year.

These records are for non-incumbent Democrats running for President. Bill
Clinton held the old record.

Meanwhile, Bush has raised $120 million from $2,000/plate dinners for his
big corporate cronies. But that averages only 60,000 donors, compared to
over 400,000 donors to Dean's campaign.

The naysayers and pundits are going to be surprised one more time. They say
we're running out of steam, but we just got started!

"If you're a Democratic presidential contender taking potshots at the Bush
administration, Vice President Dick Cheney's secret energy policy task force
makes a good target. Unless, that is, you also had a secret energy policy
task force of your own as governor of Vermont"

Absolute proof that Dean is a flaming hypcrite.

Thank you for your article. It helps to read articles like this because
without them, many of us would be in the dark about Howard Dean. He has the
usual best face forward smile, but we need to know about the real candidate.
"I myself am a registered Democrat but there is no way I would vote for
Howard Dean. I'm going with Bush because I at least have a measure of
confidence about his spiritual and moral character."


http://worldnetdaily.com/news/articl...TICLE_ID=36391

"Dean has a point. He's the only one who's been able to fire up the Democrat
base. If his opponents can't do that, how can they woo the general election
voter? But the very qualities that make Dean so attractive to his extremist
base make him a dark horse in the general election as well.

"He is anti-war and anti-Bush to the point of seeming irresponsible. He's
irascible to the point of seeming unstable. And he is profoundly weak in the
areas he needs to be strongest in: foreign policy and national security.

"President Bush excels in these areas, which is quite ironic, considering
that a few short years ago, elitists were lampooning Bush for mispronouncing
the names of obscure foreign leaders. They still deride him for his
allegedly simplistic worldview.

"In my head, I'm picturing it as a formal affair - you know, women in
evening gowns - but it will probably be a bunch of people walking around in
sweats and sneakers," DuBois said last week. "I don't have a speaker phone,
so I'll have to get my hands on one."

Several of Dean's Democratic rivals, such as Wesley Clark, are also now
throwing house parties and organizing regular meet-ups.

The house party concept is not new. Churches and unions have long used home
meetings as an organizing tool, according to Robert Putnam, a professor of
public policy at Harvard University and the author of "Bowling Alone: The
Collapse and Revival of American Community." But over the last 30 years,
Putnam said, American political life, in large part, has been dominated by
television ads and mass mailings.


Who knew Sanders is latest Amway rep for the Dean campaign.

Sanders used to pursue Audio on this forum. One has to ask why he has worked
so hard to turn it away from audio and into his love affair with Howard
Dean.

Bush isn't in full campaign mode yet, so I'd be wary of counting chickens
before the eggs are hatched. Most GOP money comes from small donations and
when the campaign starts in earnest, I'd not be surprised to see his funding
increase tremendously.

Dean won't win. He's too short, too far to the left and tends to babble
without thinking or remebering he is contradicting himself.

Clinton won by lying and running from the center. Clinton still controls
the Democrat party and therefore is not going to allow anybody to keep him
from being re-elected in 2008 through Hilary.

I use my in laws as a barometer of the left. They are all very liberal, my
wife's cousing is essentially a Marxist and they are all opposed to and put
off by Dean.

You may continue to spin and wish, but it won't change a thing. America,
likes Dubya and trust him in most things.

He's reduced the Dems to one issue and that is Iraq which most Americans
feel was justified WMD's or not.

Which illustrates brilliantly that most
Americans are morons. Invading and occupying
foreign countries on a whim, is an ignorant 19th century
notion called imperialism.

Thanks and Happy New Year, Glenn!
I am also indebted to you for an excellent
explanation that you posted on this group
concerning the disagreements between the
intelligence community and this Administration.

I think it illustrates that Americans are willing to go to war to free
people from despots, especially when those despots have ties to people like
Bin Ladin.
