JF, I'm sure Bush, Dean, and every other candidate follows the campaign finance laws to the letter. No soft-money from "special interests," because the 2002 campaign finance reform "eliminated" that.

So tell me, why can George Soros spend millions on an anti-Bush campaign? What's to stop a "special interest" from spending millions on ads that implicitly endorse a certain candidate's position or platform? Is it OK for Soros to get around CPR laws just because Bush has outraised the other nine Democrats combined? By the way, all that money Bush raised was legal hard-money:

According to Mehlman, approximately 262,000 donors contributed money to the Bush campaign in the third quarter, from 99 percent of all counties in the United States. Approximately 145,000 donations were for less than $200, and about 200,000 were first-time donors to the Bush-Cheney effort.
