Surprising News: Richardson Collected $7 Million in 2nd Quarter; This is Close to the $9 Million Raised by Edwards.
From The Washington Post:
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson (D) raised $7 million from April through June for his presidential campaign and had an equal amount in the bank at the end of the second quarter, according to detailed financial reports filed yesterday with the Federal Election Commission.
The money raised is far short of the amounts amassed by Sens. Barack Obama (Ill.) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), the leading contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination. But it pushes Richardson well ahead of rivals such as Sens. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (Del.) and Christopher J. Dodd (Conn.).
It also places Richardson within sight of John Edwards, the former senator from North Carolina and 2004 vice presidential nominee. Edwards has not filed his full second-quarter report, though his campaign has said that he raised $9 million during the period.

So, Richardson raises 6.2 million the first quarter and 7 million the second for a grand total of 13., and he's within striking distance of Edwards in the money war? Really? Edwards' first quarter total was more than Bill's first and second combined. Edwards has now rasied a total of 23 million dollars to Richardson's 13.2.
See, I happen to think the winner of the money race will not be the winner of the nomination, but if the Post is going to talk numbers, let's at least keep it in the credibility ballpark.
