Daily Kos: "I spoke at a panel with Red State's Mike Krempasky on Sunday. Before the panel, we sat and chatted about politics, and I mentioned something along the lines of, 'progressive blogs still aren't good fundraisers. If we raise $100K, it's a great response, and in races that cost millions, that's just a drop in the bucket.' My thesis has been that this 'drop in the bucket' has more worth as a buzz-building tool, which then garners more traditional forms of fundraising and media, than it has worth in strictly dollars and cents. Boy was I wrong. Krempasky, who has been a long-time political operative, surprised me by saying (approximately), 'You are selling yourself short. A good fundraising operation can take that $100K and turn it into $1 million over the course of a one-year campaign.'"
