McCain in second place in fundraising... among Republicans

By Dave and Carol Bradley

According to CNN, McCain's $76.7 million in total fundraising is still far behind the funds raised by Mitt Romney for this year's nomination race. Romney dropped out of the race two months ago for lack of support among people who couldn't funnel jillions of dollars into the election. Despite the extra weeks for soliciting and performing handjobs on Wall Street, McCain is still 28,000,000 dollars behind Romney's $104.8m in total funds raised.

Hillary Clinton has raised $189.1m and Barack Obama has raised $234.7m. If these were dogs instead of dollars, Clinton would be an Irish Setter, Obama would be a Labrador retriever, and John McCain would be half a Chihuahua. Romney would be a beagle, a dead beagle.
