Kerry and the presidential race
This years race is going to be tighter than I originally imagined. According to the papers, Kerry has out raised Bush in May. He now has raised 140 million compared to Bush's 250 million warchest. Kerry according to reports is pulling in a million a day and Bush half that amount. Back in Feb, I thought Kerry would not be able to compete with Bush on money and would only be able to pull in some 70-90 million in donations. But I guess I underestimated the strength of Kerry's fundraising team. I suspect though these donations are from folks who aren't really attracted by Kerry's message but are more than likely repelled by Bush's, and want to elect someone other than Bush in November. I still predict that Bush will eke out a slender win in November.
