If Richardson hits $7M and Edwards $9M, honestly, I wouldn't be laughing if I were you. That one-man second tier is growing closer and closer to being two.

2. The bigger story is that Richardson surpassed his first quarter total, and Edwards |
|
fell far short of his first quarter.

5. Richardson seems to have pulled defeat from the jaws of victory |
|
He will raise a solid amount of money, certainly enough to compete. Unfortunately, by setting high expectations, instead of downplaying their fund-raising as is normal, they set themselves up for a round of negative press. Instead of the stories being "Obama raises $30 million, HRC close at $26 million, Edwards and Richardson competitive" the stories will be "Richardson a disappointing 4th."

We should wish that all of the Democratic candidates raise a comfortable amount in order to compete. Whether you support him or not. Let's encourage voter choice and candidate dialog by making sure all 8 candidates have podiums(cash) to stand on. God, I am preachy tonight. :silly:

Richardson did well with the $6 million he raised last time and he will raise more this time. I think a four-way race would be healthy for us.
