WASHINGTON (AP) - John Kerry raised a Democratic record $100 million from March through May, lifting his presidential campaign to more than $140 million so far.

Kerry raised roughly $25 million last month alone, figures provided Wednesday by his campaign show.

The Massachusetts senator has already surpassed his financial goal of about $106 million for the primary season. He has about six weeks of fund raising left before he accepts his party's nomination in Boston and receives full government financing for the general-election phase of his campaign.

President Bush has raised at least $216 million since he began his re-election effort in May 2003. That includes at least $13 million raised in May through online and mailed contributions.

3. Some of my $$$ to

I don't have much, but if I skip something here and there and send a few bucks via the Internet it's a good thing.

I'll eat a little less. I could use the diet.

The Kerry Diet!

Works for me.

4. I have yet to give. But I will.

5. So does that mean I can't donate after he accepts the nomination?

Does full federal financing mean no more private contributions. Can he spend private money after the nomination if he raised the money before the nomination?

I'm sure my $50 won't count for much, but I'd at least like to think I'm giving at the right time. :)
