Rice's Online PAC Dollars Noted By Human Events

Democrats, beginning with unsuccessful 2004 candidate Howard Dean, have seized a huge lead over Republicans in online fundraising, Human Events reports today. Since 2004 ActBlue.com, an online political action committee, has raised over $30 million for liberal Democratic candidates and committees, including Democratic U. S. Senate candidate Andrew Rice of Oklahoma. The Washington Post reported October 5th that for the 2008 presidential election Republicans trail Democrats in fundraising by nearly $100 million "a gap that is unprecedented in 30 years." A new initiative, Slatecard, is trying to close that gap.
