http://www.gopusa.com/news/2003/october/1017_campaign_corner.shtml<snip> "Unlike other campaigns that are in decline, the Kucinich campaign today announced an increase in fundraising -- $1.65 million this quarter (up from last quarter's $1.54 million)," Kucinich staffers told supporters on Wednesday.
"We raised nearly $1 million in September alone! With an average donation of $72, the vast majority of our funds will be federally matched," the staffer said. "As a grassroots campaign with a huge volunteer base, Kucinich for President doesn't need to equal other campaigns dollar for dollar."
Given that rival Democrat Howard Dean of Vermont raised ten times as much, it is not surprising the Kucinich camp would be arguing that they don't need to be expert fundraisers.
The backers of the self-avowed "Peace Candidate" also said, "Too bad for the national media pundits who've wished the Kucinich campaign would just go away ... because Kucinich for President has surged in recent weeks. Other campaigns have seen their fundraising decline; ours is growing!"
