That would lift him to at least \\$23.5 million for the race so far and probably make him the Democratic money leader for the year.<\/p>\n<p>  Democratic strategists say Dean could raise at least double what his party&#8217;s other top hopefuls will collect during the three-month fund-raising period. The former Vermont governor has already passed the Democratic record set by President Clinton, who took in \\$10.3 million over three months in 1995 for his re-election.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While it wasn&#8217;t explicitly mentioned in the article, I thought the attached photo was interesting &#8212; a shot of Dean receiving a framed picture of Martin Luther King, Jr.\u00a0from labor leader Dennis Rivera.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  Rivera, head of one of New York&#8217;s most politically powerful labor unions, Local 1199 of Service Employees International, put his fund-raising muscle behind the former Vermont governor.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While I don&#8217;t know whether this was an official endorsement from Local 1199, or whether any other labor unions have officially backed Dean, there has been a fair number of mentions of support and good words from various labor unions concerning Dean. From what I understand, this could be a major, major boost to Dean&#8217;s campaign &#8212; and blow to Bush&#8217;s &#8212; if he can pick up endorsements from some of the country&#8217;s largest unions. While most of the media talk lately has been about Clark&#8217;s entry to the Democratic field, Dean&#8217;s momentum certainly hasn&#8217;t seemed to slip any.
