THE '04 RACE: I NEED MONEY, THAT'S WHAT I WANT


WaPo has lots of data on the presidential race. For instance, as of 8/30/04, Kerry-Edwards had about $25 million more cash-on-hand than Bush-Cheney, but the senate/congressional committees favored the Republicans by about $54 million:

Presidential Money Race (8/1/04 - 8/31/04)
BUSH-CHENEY '04
Cash on Hand (8/31/04) $36.9 million
Total Contributions $18.5 million
Total Disbursements $14.2 million
KERRY-EDWARDS '04
Cash on Hand (8/31/04) $62.0 million
Federal Funds $74.6 million
Total Disbursements $10.3 million
Note: The Bush-Cheney '04 campaign received federal funds shortly after President Bush accepted the Republican presidential nomination on Sept. 2 and is prohibited from spending money raised before then. Sen. Kerry accepted the Democratic nomination July 29 and his campaign was then limited to spending only federal funds.

Republican National Committee $93,577,251
National Republican Congressional Committee $25,587,757
National Republican Senatorial Committee $22,488,596
TOTAL $141,653,604
Democratic National Committee $55,671,864
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee $20,848,852
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee $10,584,957
TOTAL $87,105,673

There's lots more interesting stuff. Stay tuned.
