1. how cool
I just donated to Donna Edwards' campaign in Maryland through ActBlue against Wynn. And then here's ActBlue on DU! I consider it a good sign.

8. Hard to guage DU support by donor figures
Number of donors is probably more significant. A single $2300 donation says more about an individual's ability to donate than it does raw support.

9. Yes, the # of donations (in parentheses) is more interesting

11. Do you know when the ActBlue pages went up?
I know Edwards is using ActBlue as his primary donation service. I have to assume those low donor numbers for Obama and Clinton might be explained by DUers donating directly, possibly before the page was available.

12. No doubt. I am sure more than two people have donated to Clinton, for instance
but the donation numbers do track the largest DU strawpoll pretty well... aside from Richardson
