1. !

:wow:

[Lucky 13]

2. Holy Shit. I've never seen anything like this. Have you?

For a Congressional race?

[Tarheel_Dem]

3. She touched off a firestorm that just may consume her. Couldn't happen

to a nicer person. Isn't she the one with the hots for "W"?

[Billy Burnett]

23. Let's hope the firestorm consumes the McHate/Palin repukes all over.

:bounce:

[Tarheel_Dem]

30. Here's hoping....

:toast:

[Ikonoklast]

29. Mit Zunge, wenden Sie sich bitte

[Tarheel_Dem]

31. Eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww!

:puke: I could have gone the rest of my life without seeing that. Gee Thanks.

[AlCzervik]

4. Wow! I don't think i have ever anything like this for any member of the house or senate.

Awesome!

[SeattleGirl]

5. Utterly astounding!

[sufrommich]

6. Good Lord. Unbelievable. nt

[CreekDog]

7. this shows that us grassroots Democrats are now the force to be reckoned with

our network is now faster, more well funded and more ready to fight the political fights that need to be fought.

thank goodness. it's no longer 2000 or 2004 when we got walked all over and our response was not strong or widespread enough to make any difference. those days are gone.

[Matariki]

9. Amen. Don't fuck with us.

:toast:

[alsame]

12. Absolutely right. "We the people" is more than just a nice

phrase, it's where the power was meant to be. We have to keep doing things like this until all the hateful Cons are out of office.

[tridim]

8. I hope he can spend it all in 16 days.

A half a million bucks will go a long way in MN. :)

[K Gardner]

15. I was wondering the same - if its not all spent, will it go to other Dem candidates??

[Karenina]

37. He needn't spend a fraction of it

to rapture self-immolating Ms Thang. I hope there is some mechanism by which he can "spread the wealth" to other Dems.

[beac]

10. WOW!!

Truly astounding. GO series-of-tubes!!!

:applause:

[Matariki]

16. LOL

THIS weekend the 'series of tubes' WAS a truck - a dump truck of money, lol.

[Zuiderelle]

11. I was shocked when it got to $100K, I cannot believe that it's gotten that much higher!

:bounce:

[pansypoo53219]

13. heh.

people just wanna saycongressman tinkle.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

14. And it isn't over yet

This phenomenon doesn't appear to be slowing down. I'm wondering how much money he'll eventually rake in.

[asdjrocky]

17. Here's another one that could use just a little help-

[VolcanoJen]

18. Holy Crap!!!!!!!!! That's astounding!!!

:bounce:

[Tansy_Gold]

19. And just so you remember, Mr. Tinklenberg: Most of the people

who donated so generously to your campaign are PRO-CHOICE and PRO-GAY. As our dearly loved Molly Ivins always said, you gotta dance with them what brung ya.



Tansy Gold, preparin' to dance

[monmouth]

20. Ooooh, love your post. Wouldn't Molly be jumping for joy and

writing her heart out. She probably would take Kathleen Parker to lunch now that Kate has come out of the dark.

[FVZA_Colonel]

21. Well, I believe he's said he support a bill of impeachment for George W. Bush,

so I have my hopes for him.

[FloridaJudy]

22. He just hit $200,000 on ActBlue!

Holy cow! that "refresh" button is freakin' addictive.

[Matariki]

24. Ten minutes later it's at $204,000

It is truly astounding. I think this is some kind of first.

[alwysdrunk]

45. You can just refresh the page and see the total rise

Talk about changing the game.

[BklynChick]

25. I'm so happy to see this... thank you Chris Matthews for the brilliant way in which you let her hang

herself!
(I donated)

[Waiting For Everyman]

26. You know... this just might cause the Rethugs to reconsider

an overt Bachmann-like message. If they don't, after seeing this, they're REALLY stupid.

This just might serve to put some brakes on the hate talk and inciting their camp so openly. You never know, it could end up changing the political tone some in general, beyond affecting just this one race.

[Matariki]

33. Here's hoping. This should be a solemn lesson for them

and I hope Bachmann regrets her stupid comments for the REST of her *civilian* life.

I imagine these dinosaurs have think tanks trying to figure out how to control and/or harness the interweb.

[Elidor]

42. This is a lesson for all republicans:

If you open your mouth too far, you dig yourself a very deep hole. Bachmann is a bird-brain to have said all that just before the election.

Who was that other reporter who offered that other barbie-bot republican a chance to "come back in off the ledge?" Matthews opened the window wide and watched Bachmann jump right through, leaving the ledge far behind. That's gonna leave a mark.

[1corona4u]

27. Good for him!!!

This is a game changer!!(I hope, I hope, I hope...)

[FloridaJudy]

28. Wouldn't it be great

If he raised a million this weekend? I donated, and I'm unemployed.

I'm no Tweety fan, but it was perfect the way he gave her just enough rope!

[1776Forever]

35. I think you are right on about Twitty - I really think he set her up just right & let her rage on!

My husband was even yelling at the TV and he is a really easy going guy! Here's hoping the good guy wins this time!

[Matariki]

39. I was at the gym when I saw that. First time I ever yelled at the TV in public like that.

I was even 'air punching' her, I was so angry.

[1776Forever]

41. I would hate to be this woman and "own" her karma! She is asking for a big fall!

karma /kar·ma/ (kahr´mah) in Indian philosophy, the total effect of a person's actions, both mental and physical, on his or her existence; a person's present state, including health, is determined by actions from previous existence, and present actions determine their destiny for future existence.

[No Elephants]

32. Now, all we have to do is pray he knows how to use it to the fastest advantage.

[No Elephants]

34. Not just the 450K. He'll get millions in free publicity from this. Look for him on all 3 morning

news shows next week, on MSNBC and CNN. And look for Fox to splutter about him for an entire news cycle. Obama might even arrange a joint appearance somewhere.

Aw shucks. I loves a good Cinder-EL-la story.

Mr. T Goes To Washington. Yeayyyy!

[1776Forever]

36. Love your name - Love you message - Hell I just love you! Here is to Cinder-EL-la!

[4dsc]

38. Damn....

This just keeps getting bigger and bigger..

[BlooInBloo]

40. $488,127.30...

And counting!

BWAHAHAHAHA!

[Matariki]

44. Amazing. Yay Interweb! Yay us!

And you gotta love their signature: Team Tinklenberg!

[alwysdrunk]

43. Unbelieveable.

I hope to god he can pull off a win. I would just be so perfect.

[FlyingSquirrel]

46. Make that $488,127.30
