Tony Knowles massive fundraising

Wed Oct 13, 2004 at 09:26:50 PM PDT

When we selected Tony Knowles of Alaska to be one of the dKos candiates, I genuinely thought that we'd net him around $20000-25000, and that this would represent roughlyl 2% of his take.
Turns out that we raised him double that--he recently broke $40,000 in Kos donations.  However, this represents less than 1% of his $4,500,000 total through 9/30.  Wow.  A back of the envelope calculation reveals that that's around $8 per Alaskan.  Wonder if that's a record.

Full details of his fundraising can be seen here.

Knowles is currently ahead in the polls 48-45.  Amazingly, despite massive Republican attacks, his positives have been going slightly up, while his negatives have been going down!  His opponent Lisa "Nepotism" Murkowski has no such luck.
