115 Million Reasons for Publicly-Financed Campaign

Who would be a better leader of the United States? If you base your decisions solely on fundraising ability, Hillary Clinton, for the first quarter of 2007 is your winner.

If candidates are like corporations, how many corporations do you know who can raise this kind of money and are not influenced by their stockholders?

2007 FIRST QUARTER FUNDRAISING
Hillary Clinton - $26m - Junior Senator of New York
Barack Obama - $25m - Junior Senator of Illinois
Mitt Romney - $23m - Former Governor of Massachusetts
Rudy Giuliani - $15m - Former Mayor of New York
John Edwards - $14m - Former Senator of North Carolina
John McCain - $12.5m - Senior Senator of Arizona
(Figures reported by campaigns for the 2008 frontrunners)
