Kerry, Bush Set Fund-Raising Records
news.yahoo.com

By SHARON THEIMER, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - John Kerry (news - web sites) quickly rebuilt his depleted campaign fund after securing the Democratic nomination last month, raising roughly $44 million and beating one of President Bush (news - web sites)'s money records.

Kerry collected about $57 million from January through March, topping the previous presidential quarterly record of $50 million set by Bush last summer. Bush raised $52.9 million in the first three months of this year. Kerry has a long way to go to catch up with Bush's record overall fund raising, however.

Kerry raised about $85 million from January 2003 through last month; Bush has raised more than $185 million since launching his re-election effort last May, campaign finance reports the two filed Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission (news - web sites) show.

ME: IMHO, the campaign is too much about money, and not enough about issues.
