When I ran for City Council of Keene NH in 2001, I put all my finances and recordkeeping online for all to see, updating it every day that there was a change. Our overly liberal newspaper in town said that they had to commend me for doing so.
Well, Howard Dean did a lot of fundraising drives with live updates (and he did well, unlike our opponents this year). But he didn't have a running total of his full quarter numbers. And updating every couple of weeks with the off-line numbers is certainly a first for a campaign for major office.
