The '08 Money Chase
The following totals come from the federal accounts that any potential WH '08 candidate still has active. Some are House accounts (Tancredo, Sanford); some are old SEN accounts (Giuliani, Romney); some are old WH accounts (Kerry, Clark, Edwards) and most are current SEN accounts.The data is derived from FEC filings for the three-month period ending 09/30/05. The column "Total Receipts" (Line 16 on FEC form 3) includes all donations, transfers, cmte money, loans/contribs made by the candidate, and interest earned on the account. The "Individual Contributions" column reflects FEC line 11(a-iii), which only includes money raised from individuals other than the candidate. "PACs" (FEC line 11c) may include money transferred from other candidates' cmtes. "Net Spent" is FEC line 7 (c). For WH accounts, figures are taken from the equivalent lines on the appropriate forms.

Pretty glum bench the Republicans have for '08. I wonder if they'll manage to turn things around?
If the Republicans want my advice for 2008 (oh, I'm sure they're just dying to hear it,) they should try to run their candidate as a candidate for president, and not as a candidate who happens not to be Hillary Clinton (especially if she doesn't turn out to be the Democratic nominee.) Just ask Rick Lazio; he'll tell you.
I'm a little nonplussed about the way the recent nepotism trend, though: Bush, Clinton, Bush, (possibly) Clinton... dynasties are very un-American! That said, I... um... really do think Senator Clinton would make a decent president... better than Joe Lieberman, at any rate...

General Wes Clark will be the next President of the United States!

The real shame is that Dean isn't on this list. I've met more Republicans that liked him than not.
At least he's going to take back Congress in 2006 as Chair of the DNC.

That was probably before he called Republican "evil," and "brain dead." Dean's chance to ever be President is gone. There are too many times he has reminded the country that he "hates Republicans and everything they stand for."

If Howard Dean "hates" GOPers, please explain his trips to so-called red states. Dean, realizes Dems can speak the same language with traditional conservatives on economic and even some moral issues. Just like Democrats, conservatives will be hurt with Bush's plan to repeal mortgage deductions. Just like Democrats, conservatives are hurt when jobs are outsourced to China and India. Just like Democrats, conservatives are hurt when multi-billion companies, like Wal-Mart, shift employee health care costs onto taxpayers. Disagreements exist, and always will. But there's more common ground than the media would have you believe.
