Oliver has fine-tuned the structure he inherited from the 2000 campaign, and built on a core group of fund raisers called Pioneers who each brought in $100,000.

And before you know it, for many workers, the hours from nine to five are most often spent practically alone. The take-out services from gourmet cafes have literally...
...website; as well as several people from among the 35,000--astonishing if true--who had joined the Dean affinity group on Meetup.com Dean seemed nonplussed by it all. "I have no idea how any of this works," he said. "But the Meetup folks are the core of our organization out here in California. In New York, they're working to get us on the primary ballot, which is not an easy thing. This campaign is totally decentralized. There are probably 15 or 20 different kinds of Dean bumper stickers, because people in different states decide to print their...
