The creator of the Draft Brad Miller site says he is not surprised.
Will Cubbison, an N.C. State graduate who started a Web site encouraging the Raleigh Congressman to run against U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole, said he was "shocked" that the draft movement did as well as it did.
"In some ways, the most surprising thing of all is that Brad would even consider it," he said.
In the beginning of the year, bloggers at BlueNC and elsewhere began rooting for a Miller campaign. In January, Cubbison registered the Web site, which went live in April.
He said that the site raised about $3,000 from around 70 donors for a Miller campaign. Though it wasn't successful, Cubbison said the draft may have raised Miller's profile and helped promote some of his issues.
"If that's all we accomplished, then it was worth every minute," he said.
