House Democrats Just Had Their Best Ever January Fundraising Haul
Huffington Post / 2-20-18
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced Tuesday that it had raised $9.3 million last month, the largest ever January haul for the campaign arm of House Democrats.
Of that total, the DCCC raised $3.4 million online in average donations of $18, a figure that points to enthusiasm among grassroots activists in addition to well-heeled donors.

That last sentence -- "well-heeled donors." We saw the same thing in 2007-2008 when it was apparent Democrats would regain control of government. This is good news.
