I contributed. I didn't know about the "add 44 cents" rule (for Dean will be the 44th President). Give Leonard a crisp new $20!
that's exactly what i did yesterday. i also donated via an Oklahoma bat in honor of them being the first to file Dean on the petition.
Well, Boswell's gonna have to wait for my cash...cuz I have none at the moment after making my $100 Revolution contribution by reserving my place at the Dec 14 "All I Want For Christmas Is My Country Back", star-studded celebration here in SF! 
Merry Christmas to me!
But, on another note...speaking of winning back seats. Is there a list anywhere that identifies current senate races across the country with any kind of analysis? At least a list? Would be good to have a one stop shop to see who our Democrat candidates are, possibly starting to make contributions and sending notes of support to their campaigns.
And why stop at the Senate, how about the House? We've got farther to go there, but it's just as important...as we see from this support of Boswell. A list anywhere?
I don't have time right now to research, hoping one of you 'really on the top if it' folks has that handy somewhere! 
Strawman after strawman, Anna. Dean's not "hard on the Saudis" because Dean has no idea what to do with the Saudis.
It is much more complicated than breaking out "the Bushies" business ties with SOME Saudis (FYI, Bandar gave MILLIONS to the Univeristy of Arkansas in Clinton's name, and he gave money to Barbara Bush for charities, and Nancy Reagan for cancer research.) You make the same mistake the anti-war side accused the right of; turning a complicated issue into a flat black and white one.
Simply put, the Saudis present a "three trillion dollar question". Unlike Iraq, the Saudis have 1 trillion USD in reserve currency. If they dumped that in favor of the Euro, bad news. The Saudis have 1 trillion USD in the stock market. Pulling that, or freezing that should the Saudis be replaced by their more radical counterparts, bad news. The Saudis, next to potentially Iraq, have the largest oil reserves, but are the only nation capable of producing it in large quantities. What does this mean? According to 'Sleeping with the Enemy', and other sources back this up, if the Saudis did not suppress prices by overproducing, the price of a barrell would be 150, not 50 USD. If Saudi production went offline, world reserves would dry up in 6 months, and the entire industrial economy would tank, or be beholden to the Iranian enabler, the Soviet Union... whoops! I mean Russia.
Anyhow, nice try Anna, but don't be such a shill, ok? Bush has already removed troops from the Saudis, has already forced them to implement counterterrorist measures, including freezing accounts and reigning in those attackers. After Ridyah, I think they're starting to get the message. Moreover, Bush has repeatedly pledged to slowly break ties to nations that don't share American respect for human rights, so you can tell where it is going.
BTW, Anna

"The most interesting theory that I've heard so far - which is nothing more than a theory, it can't be proved - is that he was warned ahead of time by the Saudis," Dean told a caller to Washington, D.C's Diane Rehm Show, according to a transcript obtained by Opinion Journal.com.
"Now, who knows what the real situation is?" the presidential conspiracy theorist cautioned. He then added, "But the trouble is, by suppressing that kind of information, you lead to those kinds of theories, whether they have any truth to them or not."
Dean warned that the more theories like his "get repeated," the more people tend to believe them.
This sounds more like insanity, then a clear appraisal of what the Saudis really represent, and that is an outmoded royal family, paying off terror gangs to save its ass, not full on supporters such as Iran (with their future Soviet... er Russian nuke plants and there unrelenting support of Hezbollah).
I think it was here I saw posted the comment "doing what Osama wants seems a really bad plan." Well, ditching the Sauds, or spewing conspiracy theories around them is REALLY a bad plan. Osama would be pissing himself if the keeper of the Muslim holy cities went under and a Wahhabi bloobath and the industrial nations falling would ensue.
oh christ, you're quoting from newsmax? as if that's anything more than a *shrill* right wing site.
strawman??? you simplified my very complicated post by boiling it down to me saying "bush should cut his ties with the saudis and that'll solve our problems". PB, you know as well as i do that i said much more than that and that the issue is far more complicated than bush's ties. but bush's ties *ARE IMPEDING OUR PROGRESS* in this area. getting rid of bush - who cares more about his ties to the saudis than rooting out terrorism - is JUST THE BEGINNING of the process of solving this very complicated problem.
The subject of the post was the Boswell money.
It was a wonderful demonstration of exactly why Dean must be the nominee, made directly to the Iowa Democrats who will do so much to make the decision.
Can Gephardt get you $35,000 overnight? Dean can, absolutely, positively.
Want to win. Feel the blog...
You know, Boswell hasn't even endorsed Dean (although he might).
The story won't get much play outside Iowa. But every Democratic politician in America will hear about it, and understand its importance.
Follow the money...
good point, dana, and i apologise for taking the bait and getting OT.
this campaign is the real deal. dean's just proven that it's not "all about him", which we've known for quite some time. it's about america, about *all of us*, and we need to elect a democratic support structure to back up the next democratic president.
