1. I'd guess it has to do with money given

:shrug:

[Wiley50]

3. Take a look at those "money Given" figures again

His reads a little less than $400,000

Hers reads over 2 mil

I don't follow you

BTW This is from London Timesonline

5. If you add the 2 together her's was bigger at one point

I looked for the graphic...couldn't find it. :shrug: When was this published?

[Wiley50]

6. From a thread I followed here a while ago

I can't find it now.

It linked to a Timesonline article about Poppy always bailing Jr out

At the bottom of page 2 was this link

2. I don't know where thosenumbers came from, but Hillary has more

than $1.9 mill. Last I read it was somewhere around $15 mill. She alsogave a whole lot tothe 06 sampaigns!

9. .

Yeah, the numbers I saw were way higher than 2 millions. She spent close to 20 millions this election season, donations to other candidates included but apparently she raised much more than 40 millions.

4. I don't like any of these potential candidates, even on the

Democratic side as our future president.

7. Photo-wise, Edwards is the only Charisma winner of the bunch

But the guy has charm like the Big Dog

a natural populist

if you've ever watched him

I think he's got a real shot

10. Edwards will be the candidate,was what some woman reporter said she

was told by a bunch of big ex-Clinton administration people;she said at the end of that Chris Matthews weekend show maybe 3 weeks ago.She said she asked like a dozen of them at some meeting and almost all said Edwards would be the one.I think she's some kind of Time magazine right-wing columnist/blogger/whatever.

8. Perhaps because...

Hillary spent 29+ million to get re-elected in a no contest.

12. .

I checked electionprediction and there the number is 33 millions. I guess the NY market is that expensive. But I heard that this includes contributions to other candidates and a considerable part was spent for get out the vote efforts. So I think many Dems at least in NY benefited from that. Still, it was an awfully high amount to spend for a safe seat.

11. Because these numbers only reflect her PAC, not her Senate account.

Not sure what the source is, but they should know better.
