One thousand netroots activists have joined the blogosphere campaign to cover Howard Dean's back. In five hours...

From the ground up, this has become a netroots demonstration of how we will support Democrats with 21st-century tactics.

Over at Swing State Project, I followed the first 5 hours of the action. Here is the recap:

UPDATE: $10467.69 from 215 donors in the first hour.
UPDATE 2: be patient, ActBlue is running a little slow due to the response...
UPDATE 3: $22871.55 from 458 donors in the first two hours.
UPDATE 4: Interesting Times says Actblue, "appears to be swamped"
UPDATE 5: $34263.77 from 675 donors in the first three hours.
UPDATE 6: $43082.20 from 883 donors in the first four hours.
UPDATE 7: Kos says, "the ActBlue servers were so hammered that many went over and donated directly at the DNC site."
UPDATE 8: Blogsnow is tracking this as one of the most talked about items in the blogosphere.
UPDATE 9: Timeline: Atrios posted at 12:03 PM eastern, Markos posted the syndication code four minutes later at 9:07 AM pacific.
UPDATE 10: In five hours, 1000 people donated.

Let's keep this moving:
