...some say no.
But recent numbers posted earlier today by Randomtask show that Kerry's 'cash on hand' funds seem to be drying up. Dean, on the other hand, apparently has more money than all other Democratic contenders combined. Take a look for yourself:

Dean has raised more money than Kerry since Iowa, and it just keeps on coming. The Comeback Bat is at $1.76 million.
So imagine this scenario... It is the last week of February. Kerry is near broke. So is everyone else except possible Clark and, not surprisingly, Howard Dean. No other candidate can afford paid staff and strong organization, and no other candidate can afford ads in either New York or California.
Can Dean outlast Kerry to Super Tuesday? That is the question of the day. What do you think..?
