Boy,
this is weird:
Presidential hopeful John F. Kerry was pummeled by Vermont Gov. Howard Dean in the quarterly race for cash that ended yesterday, raising only $2.5 million to Dean's estimated $15 million.
Kerry aides disputed Dean's figures and said Kerry's personal loan of $6 million will give him enough cash to catch Dean.
"Our $2.5 million is real,'' Kerry spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said, though offering no proof Dean's estimates were fudged.
I know that it's embarrasing enough to quote fundraising numbers of $2.5 million for the quarter -- that's getting down to Kucinich's level.
But to imply that Dean is lying about his numbers? This campaign has been stuck on "pathetic" for too long. Thankfully we have real voting happening this month. It's really time to thin the herd.
