Kerry raises $40 million in quarter
By Brian C. Mooney, Globe Staff, 4/2/2004

Democrat John F. Kerry's campaign is expected to announce today that it raised more than $40 million in the first quarter of 2004, roughly keeping pace with the Bush-Cheney money juggernaut.

President Bush entered the spring with a commanding financial advantage, but the fund-raising boost gives Kerry the ability to counter a wave of Republican ads in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and other swing states in what is already an all-out fight for the White House.

Kerry spokesman Michael Meehan said the campaign plans to announce that a surge in online donations in March will push the Massachusetts senator's take for the first three months of the year "for sure over $40 million; the question is how much."
