WASHINGTON - The surprise top-two finishes by John Kerry (news - web sites) and John Edwards (news - web sites) in Iowa are already paying off: Each took in tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions over their Web sites within hours of the Iowa caucuses.


Kerry, Edwards and third-place finisher Howard Dean (news - web sites) all tried to capitalize on Monday's events with fund-raising e-mails. They urged donors to give in time to make a difference in the next big test, New Hampshire's primary next Tuesday.


"I need your help, and I need it immediately to continue the surge in New Hampshire," Kerry wrote Tuesday. "Please contribute today, as much as you can afford."


Along with his e-mail, Kerry challenged donors to help him raise $365,000 over the Internet on Tuesday — marking the 365 days left before the 2005 inauguration — and collected roughly $300,000 by late afternoon.

1. Glad to hear this. They will need every penny to fight Bush.

I hope the SOTU gave all our candidates another $ boost.

I would imagine that a lot of the new money is coming from people who had not previously contributed.

2. Kerry and Edwards--go go go! Onward!

now is the time for both Kerry and Edwards to really seperate themsleves from the others--except for Clark, because he'll be a force to reckon with in NH. There's a debate tomorrow night? I hope it's on Cspan :)
