Bat Man
Dick Gephardt may not want to take batting practice (see
below), but Howard Dean is definitely using his. The Dean bat, which yesterday was at $1.7 M out of a target of $5 M, is now at $12.5 M out of $15 M. This seems to claim that Dean has raised almost $11 M in less than one day, which is hardly believable. Joe Trippi
confirms my suspicion that the campaign has switched form the bat count to showing all contributions for the quarter. By shifting to the quarter totals, which really are impressive, the Deaniacs hope to draw attention away from the fact that they are falling well below the $5 M in 10 days goal that was set for the Dean bat in this inning.
