Well, I wasn't surprised to see Billary tout their earnings loud and clear for everyone to hear....$26 mil. What did surprise me was Mitt Romney on the Republican side, right behind her. Rudy and McCain trail far behind.
Edwards did sort of well. My man Barack Obama will be fully reporting tomorrow, but has hinted he got at least $20 mil himself. Which is probably giving Billary the heebie geebies.
Mitt Romney. I wouldn't have figured. I know nothing about the man, other than that he's a Mormon, and after visiting his campaign website for the first time tonight, I still know nothing about him.
Anyone have anything to share?

and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

Also: Obama's fundraising operation recieved donations from over 83,000 donors, Hillary's total came from 50,000.

I think that all of the "second tier" guys who have reported are between $2 and $5 million.
its too bad he wont be able to raise as much money as the other rockstars...he's a pretty good candidate i think

he's definitely a "resume candidate". a guy who has tons of experience, but no name recognition nationally. i wasn't using "second tier" in a perjorative sense, either, just pointing out that he's one rung down in terms of fundraising and press coverage when compared to obama, clinton, and edwards.
Millhouse, I agree....Hillary got more money, slightly, than Obama, yet Obama got more donors. As some people have pointed out, this could mean that Hillary has already tapped her highest backers and will need to get the rest of her funding from the little folk. Whereas Obama can continue to get the funding from us little folk because we haven't maxed our $2300 limit and we will continue giving our little bits in bigger numbers. Which will make the next quarter even more interesting.
Add to the mix, Fred Thomson of Law & Order fame, and political fame before that, who wants to be the next Republican great white hope. I read up on him and he's ultra-conservative and said something about wanting to overthrow Roe v. Wade.

That is not an ideal thing for a campaign. It would be better if the 83,000 gave more money.
He's reporting around $6 million. Not too bad considering Sen. Clinton is in the race. If she wasn't running, he would probably have the upper hand with the Clinton housefile. Sen. Biden was the one that shocked me. With a previous run and national name recognition, he should have been able to do better. He should probably start thinking about a concession speech.
I say we rename it an auction. The job goes to the highest bidder.

There is nothing wrong with raising money for your campaign. I just find it sad that good candidates are more often than not unable to win because they can't raise the type of money that people like Hillary or Obama raise. It just seems that the person with the biggest purse ends up winning the election and more times than not that person is not the best person for the job.
Watch out Hillary.

i'm happy for once because i think obama is a good candidate and he raised money to do the types of things that zstillings mentioned in his post. but i also think that the amount of donors is fantastic because it shows that more people are interested enough to donate (some donating $5 but that's what they can do, you know). i love seeing tens of thousands of people excited about a candidate. it's a nice change.
milhouse where did you get 83,000? i just got an email from barack telling me 100,000 i think. maybe i need to re-read it.

sweet. i guess it is over 100,000:

How many here would possibly vote for a candidate that toured the country on a battery-powered moped?

Either that's a brand-name of a Moped, or you're drunk.

you're right. the 83,000 was as of sunday or monday night. i just read the email, too.
you're right, it's great to see large numbers of people get excited about a candidate. the diversity of obama supporters is nice to see, too. the event i went to on saturday was attended by a libertarian, an independent, a registered republican, a grad student, a couple of retirees, a guy who served in iraq, a black woman, a lawyer who specializes in representing people with disabilities, and some asian guy.
That's a really small event.
