Bell raises over $200k online

From Chris Bell's blog:
Holy freaking cow. You guys are incredible. Not only have you knocked out our $25,000 online fundraising drive with more than 24 hours left to go, and not only have you pushed Chris Bell back up into second place in the Map Changer contest, but you just reached an important milestone in the growth of the Texas netroots:
This afternoon, your online donations pushed our total online receipts over the $200,000 mark. Since the beginning of this campaign, Chris Bell has now raised $208,907.59 over ChrisBell.com. This is an incredible accomplishment that shows how your donations can add up to rival the biggest checks that anyone gets.
Also from e-mail:
“Raising $200,000 in small donations over the internet shows why Chris Bell can win this race," Stanford said. "He's got the support of the Texas Democratic Party, the endorsement of the Texas AFL-CIO, and the most successful online fundraising campaign in Texas political history. Texans are giving their dollars over the Internet because they want change in Texas, and Chris Bell is going to give it to them.”
