Well, I have a few outreach pieces that project beyond the state of Oregon, including the progressive discussion blogs www.blogforamerica.com (an outgrowth of the Howard Dean campaign) and www.dailykos.com, which started as a blog to discuss the looming war effort of the Bush administration and has expanded significantly.
In the grand scheme of things, blog fundraising is NOT something I have placed much budget planning stock in, because I don't imagine the impetus to donate to a state race in a relatively small state is going to play on the big national scene, but never-the-less, I have had some response!
Cash donations have come in from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and today, Wisconsin, Delaware (update and no sooner do I post, than Maryland gets in , too) joined. Donations of effort ("In Kind") in coding some things for this website and in starting my Spanish Language translation effort (hoping to unveil on May 1) come from California, Illinois, and from way upstate here in Oregon...
My new Amazon fundraising tool will graph donations and total donors...it was installed today, so we shall see how it works. It has an initial goal of $5000. PayPal donations are still coming in, as well. I will try to post updates semiregularly, though I doubt I will get a cool Dean Bat graphic going on :)
