Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) has sure become a hit with the liberal netroots base since his vociferous public attacks on the Republicans — and the money is coming in for this scourge of the “foot-dragging, knuckle-dragging neanderthals.”
“I can tell you that it really started to explode, I would say last night about five o’clock,” said Julie Tagen, the Congressman’s chief of staff and a senior adviser to his campaign. “And since that time, we have probably raised anywhere between $125,000 and $150,000 online.”
Tagen said that it’s not immediately clear how much of this money will be reflected in the upcoming third-quarter financial reporters, because the donations have been coming in continuously during a period when one quarter officially ended and another began.
