As of 1pm, Deaniacs are credited with $176,545 in contributions today to the Kerry for prez campaign. It's an interesting little bump in their Miracle May campaign.
I surfed around BFA earlier today and read a bunch of posts by very unhappy Deaniacs who were pissing and hissing over the coopting of their bat. Others were hissing over Dean not being considered as a VP slot.
I'd hope that the Deaniacs which are also Kossiacs in their alter ego would take a bit of time today and donate to Kerry and Swing for the Bat.
I, as a former card carrying donor to Dean, threw in my own contribution, $17.76.
How about you? I yeild the floor to the good Doctor from Vermont the get to the pocketbooks of all the Deaniacs who have thus far balked at donating to Kerry:
[i]Dear Steven,
George Bush has failed our country. And my top priority between now and November is making absolutely certain that the American people hold him accountable.
This administration will say anything to avoid responsibility for the massive mistakes it has made. But John Kerry will not let them hide -- and you can help by contributing to his campaign now:

George Bush cannot be trusted to tell the truth. He misled us about Iraq, and his administration's paranoid secrecy cuts the public off from information about our government's actions. He would not testify under oath to the September 11th commission -- and could not even meet the commission in private without Dick Cheney's supervision.
He cannot be trusted with our safety. George Bush has thrown away 60 years of America's moral leadership in the world and left us in weak isolation. He has stretched our military dangerously thin by rushing into Iraq, and by sending National Guard and Reserve troops to join them, left our homeland unprotected.
And George Bush cannot be trusted with our future. The millions of jobs lost have weakened our economy. More Americans are sick because he has failed to help the tens of millions of us who have no health insurance. And his attempts to divide us by race, gender and sexual orientation are weakening the fabric of our society.
The first step in making America strong again is electing John Kerry. And today the famous fundraising bat is in your hands to help Senator Kerry take his message to the American people:

We had a spirited primary season this year. But the differences between any of the former Democratic candidates are nothing compared to the fundamental differences between the Democratic agenda and the right-wing ideologues who are destroying this country.
John Kerry will restore American values and our nation's traditional purpose in the world. With your help, we can take our country back -- and take back the White House in 2004.
Sincerely,
Governor Howard Dean, M.D. [/i]
