Howard Dean for President, raises $1M online
The Internet has come of age -- with people getting more comfortable using their credit cards online, in this case to support a presidential candidate -- according to this AP story in the Wall Street Journal (subscription required):
Mr. Dean hit the $1 million mark in Internet fund raising last week, becoming the first 2004 presidential hopeful to announce he has done so. Dean supporters also are using the Internet to organize volunteers across the country
...Mr. Dean raised far less overall in the early money chase than his rivals from Congress in the nine-way Democratic race. From January through March, the most recent figures available, Mr. Edwards raised $7.4 million, Mr. Kerry $7 million, Mr. Gephardt $3.5 million, Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman $3 million and Mr. Dean $2.6 million.
