| Description | Vermont members of a national online liberal advocacy group over the weekend pledged $135,000 toward U.S. Rep. Bernard Sanders' all-but-announced bid for the Senate next year, the group said Monday.
Eli Pariser, executive director of MoveOn.org's political action committee, said that more than 2,500 of the group's Vermont members responded to an e-mail sent Friday asking whether the group should back Sanders in his quest to take the seat being vacated in 2006 by Sen. James Jeffords, I-Vt.
Sanders is not expected to have fund-raising issues, particularly if the Democrats step aside. Already, the former mayor of Burlington has a campaign account brimming with more than $600,000.
