Democrat Candidates Crush Republicans in Fundraising


February 1st, 2008

The fourth quarter reports from 2007 are in and everyone is pouring over the numbers. One thing is very clear, Democrats are out-raising Republicans by an astonishing amount.

In the final quarter Hillary Clinton raised $26.8 Million while Barack Obama brought in $22.8 Million compared to Mitt Romney who raised $9 Million (but loaned himself twice that amount from his own personal fortune), John McCain raised $6.8 Million and Huckabee who brought in $6.6 Million. The only bright spot for Republicans was Ron Paul who registers almost nowhere in polling but who raised $19.7 Million.

Politico reports that the two leading Dems have raised a total of $209 Million while the four remaining Republicans have raised a total of $128 million.
