1. I think it's AWSOME! Edwards has raised more than anyone but Mitt!

2. Well, that part is great...

I was shocked to see Mittens at #1 :scared:

I know the next quarter returns will change the percentages big time. :)

to DU! :hi:

3. meh... could be worse

Mitt is the corporatists' candidate du jour, so of course he's going to do well among the well-heeled exploiting class -- and the Mormons.

total for Rs: $746887
top 3: $679375 (~90%)

total for Ds: $573501 (76% of the Rs)
top 3: $516503 (~90%, again)

I'd guess this to be a decent take for Democratic candidates compared to past years, and the moneys will be much closer for the general. Some of us won't have a lot of $$ to contribute to primary contenders, tend to save it for the general where it'll be more effective.

4. The new totals will be coming out soon too

I'm sure I'll feel a little better then. Morning! :hi:
