1. Thanks--to aid comparison, here are the 1Q 07 totals:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070401/ap_on_el_pr/campaign_money

(maybe the story will be updated later)

Clinton - $26 MM plus $10 MM transferred from Senate campaign
Edwards - will release #s later today
Obama - has yet to reveal his totals
Richardson = $6 MM

"Edwards reported raising more than $3 million on the Internet and appeared well on his way to passing the $7.4 million first-quarter fundraising mark he set in his 2003-04 presidential campaign.

No Republican presidential candidates had released fundraising totals Sunday."


pre- 2000:
"Republican Phil Gramm of Texas and Democrat
Al Gore of Tennessee hold the records for first-quarter receipts: $8.7 million for Gramm in 1995 and $8.9 million for Gore in 1999. Gramm dropped out before New Hampshire held the 1996 election's first primary."

[PresidentObama]

2. I thought I read Biden released his numbers?

Said something like $3-4 million.

4. Hi, Kerry2008, the story on Yahoo didn't say anything about him

but if you have a link to another story with his #s, it would be good to have it.

on edit, it just asys:

"The rest of the Democratic field and the Republican presidential candidates planned to announce their first-quarter totals over the next few days. The fundraising deadline for the January through March period was Saturday, with financial reports due April 15."

[PresidentObama]

3. $7.4 million in 2003 compared to $36 million in 2007.

Times they are a changin'

5. If people don't get that Hillary wants to buy her way into the White House, well...

they'll get what they are owed--a woman who is bought by the corporate interests of this country. How different is that from Bush?

of corporate versus individual?
