* has $200 MIllion, yet Edwards will practically be broke by June because he took matching funds. * will have commercials set up against Edwards during that time, and try to define him. How are you going to counterattack when 527s are being limited?

1. if he keeps up attacking corporate America, outsourcing, and the rich
he won't need that much money, he'll have so many rank and filers working for him Bush wouldn't stand a chance.

4. the bankruptcy bill didn't pass, thanks in part to Edwards
Edwards' take sure sounds better than Clark's "let India take all our jobs". To think I used to support Clark - and all the time he was a stalking horse for Kerry (or he's just a suck up now) - I want my money back! :grr:

2. The same way everyone else will have to.
No one is going to have much money by the time of the convention, unless someone *cough, cough* can dip into their personal fortune...

5. Announce that Dean is his veep
and let Dean (who is technically still running for President) do the spending.

(what's the emoticon for devil smile?)

6. Gore outspent 2:1, and Gore was a bad candidate who lost by one vote.

According to my back of the envelope calculation, Edwards needs only raise 35-45% of what Bush raises to win.

;)
