Boston Globe: Dean expected to surpass each of his rivals by $10 mil

[CMT]

Howard Dean is likely to surpass each of his Democratic Presidential rivals by more than $10 million in fundraising for this quarter. Dean passed $13 million on his website yesterday...should exceed by a wide margin his $15 million dollar goal for the quarter that ends at Midnight tonight. The previous Democratic record for non-election year was $10.3 million set by President Clinton in 1995.

His nearest rival, according to the Globe will be Senator John Kerry who is expected to raise 4.5-5 million this quarter bringing his total for the year to at least $20.5 million.

Currently on the Dean site he has raised $13,609,235 from 171,836 contributors for an average of $79.20 per contribution.

1. But the number is old

I think he has been in the mid 13s since this morning. Could they be hiding some funds until later?

2. I don't think Dean will beat the others by $10 million, but

it will be close to that.

Dean will raise the most, but I think Kerry will be closer to $7.5-8 million. I also think Edwards is going to be a bit of a surprise, about $6 million.

I think Lieberman will only get about $3.5 million and Graham will do less then that.

Gephardt will do about $4 million.

With Dean bringing in so much, will the media go crazy over it (like they did after Q2) or will they just think it was expected? Will Clark's numbers, although they will be much less, trump Dean's record breaking? Will anyone bring up how much better it would be if we had public funding of races?

Next week should be fun.
