Good news for the Dean campaign: They set up "Kitty's Bat," aiming to raise $700,000 in three days for Wisconsin, and after 24 hours it's near $685,000. Some will argue the campaign intentionally set a low bar to create the appearance of momentum, or that promising to quit if he lost Wisconsin was enough to squeeze the last cash out of the true believers, but I think this demonstrates at the least that the media accounts of Dean's supporters all having given up on the man is - like much of the media about him at various points - overblown. Whether this is a rebirth or a last hurrah, of course, remains to be seen.
