Faircloth spent $9.4 million, Edwards $8.3 million:

"Indeed, in 1998 Mr. Faircloth raised $7.7 million in contributions from individuals and political action committees. He supplemented that with only $1.7 million of his own money. Mr. Edwards wound up spending $8.3 million, nearly three-quarters of that from his own personal fortune."

Of course you are right that Bush will have more money. However, Edwards would not have to run against an entire country that is as conservative as a whole as North Carolina is. No offense is meant against any Democrat who lives in North Carolina, just that they are outnumbered. I wish there were more of them.
