Actually, make that $930.14 -- $930.14 that I've bet on you.
Made up of 140 little bets through ActBlue, and another 45 through GiveGreen.
$930 is the most cash I've ever donated in an election cycle.
I'm betting that you're right, and the pollsters are way way off.
I'm betting on your partnership -- and together, our Getting Out The Vote today.
And I'm betting you'll follow me below the fold, to see who got my money... and to discover the deliciously shocking news of how we in the Netroots outraised Karl Rove's Crossroads... yes, indeed: how we used the web to raise ..... $80M !!!
First, who got my ActBlue money?:

From: "Erin Hill, ActBlue" <replies@actblue.com>
Subject: Today, Tomorrow and 2012
ActBlue debuted on June 25, 2004, and we wouldn't be where we are now without your generosity. That first year, ActBlue donors sent $800,000 to Democrats. This year, ActBlue donors sent $80 million.
Today, ActBlue is the largest single source of political money in the United States.
Our mission is the same now as it was then: we're working to build a better way to practice politics, where grassroots donors stand shoulder-to-shoulder with titans of finance and industry; where the concerns of ordinary Americans--jobs, health, education--resonate in our nation's capitol with the same urgency that marginal tax rates for millionaires do.
In short, we're working for you. So please:
Support ActBlue
(And vote tomorrow!)
From all of us at ActBlue, thanks.
Erin Hill
Executive Director, ActBlue
Meteor Blades famously advised us: "Tell me what you do and I'll tell you what you believe."
Now you know what I believe.
Now I know what you believe.
Look at what we've done -- together !!!!
