Standing behind Dean

One of the more ridiculous criticisms of Dean's chairmanship thus far, has been that he has not turned out to be the money spigot everyone thought they were getting. Well, as has been pointed out by Media Matters and others, this is baloney. Now comes further confirmation:

Dean said he is bringing in $1 million weekly and that $100,000 was received, unsolicited, from online donors during a 24-hour period in the past week as the furor over his remarks grew.

Records show the DNC took in $13.8 million over the first three months of 2005, compared with $8.4 million during the same period in 2003, the last year without a federal election. Terry McAuliffe was party chairman then.

Look, I support the guy, I really do. And maybe congressional Dems really should keep their mouth shut. But just don't argue (you know who you are) that Dean should continue insulting Republican voters.
