Big Bucks for Obama

Barack Obama raked in $32.5 million this past quarter, outdistancing Mrs. Clinton by a substantial amount.

Apparently, the Breck Girl didn't unleash his wife on Ann Coulter soon enough, as he struggled to pony up $9 million.

Among other Democrats, former senator John Edwards (N.C.) finished third in the fundraising race this quarter, meeting his $9 million goal after a last-minute appeal from his wife, Elizabeth Edwards, that played off of controversial remarks by conservative television commentator Ann Coulter. Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico was not far behind, raising $7 million for the quarter.

The GOP numbers seemingly pale in comparison, and we're waiting to see what Rudy Giuliani brought in. It seems to me Obama and The Pantsuit have the ability to consistently bring in big money, so one would think that's the Democrat ticket right there.

Curious though that Democrats are spending so much time raising cash when they get and endless supply of free, fawning publicity from the overwhelmingly liberal media.
