Well, as I posted in July, Dean's grassroots movement donated small donations to more than match Cheney's fat cat luncheon. Now they are at it again, with a drive to match Bush's Million Dollar dinner in Portland, OR. There were more people outside lined up protesting Bush's policies than there were inside at the dinner. This morning the Dean blog started another baseball bat campaign, a graphic of a bat turning red like a thermometer as donations come in. The average donation has been about $50; they plan to match or exceed Bush's million on Tuesday. They have already reached $144,915.41 with over 2,000 donations in a matter of hours.

I also mentioned in a July post in this thread that there were over sixty thousand Americans all over the world meeting the first Wednesday of the month to be active for Dean for president. That number at www.meetup.com is now almost 89,000. People are coming to Dean's campaign in droves because of his message and his character. It is an amazing thing to watch.

The Dean blog link has the basball bat million dollar challenge to Bush. The link is in the first message of this thread.
