Feels good to donate to somebody I really wanted to donate to.

1. Good for you! I donated today also.

The goodness of what could happen might just happen. You never know. I'm an optimist. :hug:

2. nice!

Obama was my first ever political donation, back in September. No doubt there are countless hundreds of thousands of others like that (out of just over 1,000,000 donors).

8. Dude, I did that and look what happened:

I donated $20 and then $40 dollars to Dean in 2004 for Spanish language radio ads when I was working on GOTV in Tucson, and I paid $50 and $25 for DFA training courses in 2004 and 2005. I got pretty jaded and I had honestly been meaning to donate for two weeks. I saw the ticker and it was payday and by the time I finally sat down at the end of the night it was 999,996 and I got lucky.

It does feel good. I'm going to give again Tuesday if things go well:toast:

9. That is very, very kewl, Mr. Million dollar man!

Way to go!

I donated yesterday as well. Wanted to make the cut off to include my small sum to Feb. I had given already for Feb, but decided to "what the hell" do it again! Felt good!

10. Not to thread hijack but...

Yeah, it's taught me a good deal about dealing with the press,which is good because one day I'd like to be part of it.

It really was an impulse donation, I swear it.

My mood the last couple of days:

:shrug: :donut: :tinfoilhat: :blush: :hide: :rofl: :yoiks: :dilemma: :grouphug: :banghead:
