Update: [As of earlier this afternoon (Thursday)] Rob Miller was close to hitting $400,000 from almost 11,000 patriots sick and tired of Republicans like Rep. Joe Wilson trying to debase our democracy. [I just heard Olbermann say tonight they are closing in on half a million $.] But while they try to disrupt our democracy, we engage in it. That's why we've won the last two cycles, and why we can reverse historical trends and hold our own in 2010. (Kos)
Update: In the eight hours since Wilson's outburst, his Democratic opponent, former-Marine Rob Miller, has received nearly 3,000 individual grassroots contributions raising approximately $100,000, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said. (AP-Yahoo! News)
