This is not a fundraising race, it's a voter race.
Just because Dean out-raised Kerry inside the state of New Hampshire, where Kerry may not have even TRIED to raise money, so what? Kerry leads all polls in NH and has raised more money than Dean nationally. Dean is a strong challenger but will not win NH or the nomination IMHO. He may not even come close.

Glenn,

This money obsession is a national sickness, don't you think?

Whatever happened to policy debates? Now all we get are the most ridiculous aspects of "horse race" being discussed by a media that is showing about as much intellectual integrity and depth as a four year old.

*******
Somehow, at the margins, real policy discussion does get entered into the fray. Just not in the silly reporting on the campaign.

Here's a handful of excellent articles from today's choices. These are the sort of articles that voters in a real democracy must pay attention to. Note that none of them are remotely associated with the vulgarian media whore circus:

John Dean -- The Niger flap is just the tip of Bush's iceberg of lies:

Yurika Report -- The fraud that led to the fiasco. How deceit drives White House policy:
