And it's primarily Internet-driven, which suggests that the Dean model is different, if only in effectiveness. From Yahoo / AP:
Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich said Monday that his campaign had raised $1.54 million during a three-month period, mostly from small Internet donations.After spending about $527,000 from April to June, Kucinich has about $1.06 million on hand for his White House bid. Considered a long-shot candidate, Kucinich is slated to file financial reports with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday.
Sounds like Election 2004 is going to be an experiment in how to use the Internet to garner petty change from people to support your campaign now that it is illegal for anyone to donate more than $2000. Campaign Finance Reform is to blame for this supposed, 'unique', Interent campaigning. In the meantime all of the people handing out $50 are probably thinking about how great their Freedom is not realizing how restricted it has become.
