im predicting chris dodd raised $100 or so.

Did you donate $100?

Word is that Edwards has over $14M. $1M of that is for the general election.

Meh.

This sounds like bull to me but I'm hearing rumors that Obama raised like $35 million. I'm thinking about $23 million sounds about right.

A couple more days until Obama's numbers come out. I think they will be big.

It would be so awesome if he raised more than Clinton.

Yeah especially since all the headlines have prematurely said "Hillary wins Round 1". I'm not getting my hopes up though.

Looks like Obama's pulled in $20 million.

EXCELLENT!

I've heard rumours of numbers from $17 million all the way to $35 million. It is most likely around $21-23 but we won't know for sure until he announces it some time over the next few days.

Can someone explain to me what donors see in Romney? Were I a Republican, I'd invest my money in either Giuliani or Thompson, assuming the latter runs.

He's one of them. He can be fully trusted with their money. People like Giuliani or Thompson might think they're so great in their own right that they can follow their own path instead of returning favors. But trust Romney with your money and it will pay off. He won't flop where it matters.

Basically he's a tool.
