Dean reached his bat (goal) of
$700K $800K with a total of $846,893 donated by 13,392 contributors. This means an average donation of $63, not at all bad.
Those small donations just keep coming in for Dean.
Clark seems to be on track (a train emblem) raising $2 million with a current total of $224,783 by 2,388 contributors. Clark's average donation is $94. Also not bad, a somewhat narrower base of larger contributors.
Those small donations keep coming in for Clark as well.
Now if we compare that to the Rethuglican Wing of the Republican Party, we can see they have lots of big fat cat donors... but they seem to be missing the little guy.
So, to me, the party of the 'widow's mite' is the Democratic Party!
I wonder if large, fat cat donors is a genetic characteristic of the Rethuglicans.
It seems like a campaign issue to me.
