Carrying a little stick and speaking loudly in Milwaukee

7.12.2005

Contrary to what some in media circles would have us believe, DNC chair Howard Dean is doing pretty well at fundraising, a primary function of the job.

Online donations have brought in five times as much money as the party raised online in 2003 — the last time the party was raising money in a non-election year.

Under new chairman Howard Dean, the Democrats have raised more than $1 million a week from about 600,000 donations. The Democrats' online effort included a monthly giving program called "Democracy Bonds" with about 15,000 donors signed up.

You can't argue with results.

It's both I think. The grassroots has been energized by Dean, and what's going on with donations kind of mirrors what happened during his presidential race.
