Is this the week the baby arrives? Who knows. We went for a hike today to see if a little physicality jogs things a bit. We're more than ready for the arrival...
Back to the topic on hand:
Clinton $26M
Obama No announcement yet, but estimated at $22M
Edwards $14M
Richardson $6M
Dodd $4M
Biden $3M
The previous Q1 records were $8.7M for Republicans (Phil Gramm), and $8.9M for Democrats (Gore).
The Q1 numbers are always the lowest-hanging fruit. Q2 numbers are better at gauging momentum. In 2003, Edwards and Kerry had huge dropoffs in Q2. Those who build a small-dollar-donor network will have an easier time maintaining that momentum.
Also, what the hell is Biden thinking? Whenever Dodd, at zero in the polls with zero national name recognition beats you, you know your chances are from nada to non-existent.
