New Yorkers rule ActBlue
Okay, we so totally rock. I mean we as New Yorkers. Consider this: of the top ten candidates by funds raised on ActBlue last week, five were New Yorkers, including some really surprising names.
1. Darcy Burner WA-08 $47,589.77
2. Kay Hagan NC-Sen $27,568.33
3. Rick Noriega TX-Sen $22,627.38
4. Donald Barber NY-SD-51 $11,440.00
5. Barack Obama President $11,179.93
6. Paul Newell NY-HD-64 $10,425.00
7. Michael McMahon NY-13 $9,211.33
8. Gary Peters MI-09 $8,587.75
9. David Nachbar NY-SD-55 $7,751.00
10.Tracey Brooks NY-21 $6,085.00
That's right, Don Barber outraised Barack Obama (!) on ActBlue. Betcha nobody saw that coming.

Gary Peters?
Submitted by Roy Moskowitz on 15 July 2008 - 8:01pm.
Gary Peters? Peters is the Michigan machine candidate. Nancy Skinner , who received 47 percent of the vote last cycle in an underfunded campaign (Like Steve Harrison) was running again. She was pressured to pull out despite winning a DFA competition to make room for Peters.

Can you believe Michael McMahon near the top of the ActBlue list?
Seriously -- there's something wrong there.
Harrison leads McMahon on Act Blue

Harrison leads McMahon on Act Blue in both dollars and individual donors. He has a huge Act Blue donor lead even if you account for McMahon's late start.
McMahon's Act Blue

Is a P.R. thing. I didn't see how many people actually donated to him but I did see that Steve is averaging about $43.00 per donation. If McMahon's got only a few people and this amount you'd better believe that they only put that money there in the hopes of getting more donations with people seeing the amount and thinking he's on an ActBlue roll (not).
Gary Peters
Good to see Gary Peters on that list. He's another I am actively rooting for.
