Official number: Joe Wilson’s opponent raises $132,000 on ActBlue, driven mostly by Daily Kos and Twitter
UPDATED BELOW
I just got off the phone with Adrian Arroyo at ActBlue and I have the official story of what went down since last night in terms of fundraising after Joe Wilson shouted during Obama’s speech.
1. Since last night, Joe Wilson’s opponent, Rob Miller, has raised $132,000 on ActBlue. About $100,000 of that came in the first 12 hours, and the additional $32,000 came in this morning.
2. The first donations started streaming in at about 9:30 p.m.
3. Most of the traffic for these donations was driven by Daily Kos diarists and Twitter users.
4. Donations are still coming in strong this morning, especially fueled by additional news coverage from mainstream sources.
UPDATE: Several days later, that number is up over $900,000
