In April, Kerry's Fundraising Nearly Doubled Bush's

[Thrill]

Sen. John F. Kerry's fundraising receipts surged strongly ahead of President Bush's last month, with the presumptive Democratic nominee pulling in almost twice what the president raised.



At the same time, Bush's campaign is spending money at an unprecedented rate. In part because of a $50 million ad blitz in March and early April, Bush has spent nearly $130 million on his reelection effort, a record amount, according to reports that the campaign filed yesterday with the Federal Election Commission. In April alone, his campaign spent almost $31 million to help counteract a series of negative news reports that have hurt the president's standing in the polls.

Kerry's fundraising haul of $30 million in April -- compared with the Bush campaign's $15.6 million -- marked the second consecutive month in which the Massachusetts senator's receipts have exceeded the president's, according to the two campaigns. Over the past two months, Kerry has attracted about $30 million more than Bush. The president did much of his fundraising last year and has stopped attending events to raise more for his campaign.

2. * still has 40 million more on hand than Kerry

And that is after a huge ad blitz. I doubt we'll be able to match *s funds dollar for dollar, but luckily we have better ideas and *s incompetence working in our favor.

4. agree, kerry wont be able to match the exact amount but his ads and ideas

are superior to bush. that current ad about kerry which is out now with his daughter, wife, and military buddies is incredible and so much better than all that crap bush has ran so far.
