Another Week, Another Rossi Contributor Milestone
At the tail end of a recent, monthly update to its email list, the Rossi campaign tucked in the news it has passed the 41,000th contributor threshold.
Why does that matter? Rossi's surprising 2004 campaign amassed 30,745 contributors - including a number of business community contributors now sidelined by the incumbency of Christine Gregoire. A roughly 33% increase in total donors, over 60% of which didn't contribute in 2004, is indicative of the grassroots enthusiasm for Rossi's campaign...the opposite of what conventional wisdom says should be happening this year.
Oh, and its only August.
