<<The fact that Dean or whoever the dem frontrunner is can collect $15mm PER QUARTER from average citizens should cause Bush to pause. >>

Bush has a lot more $$ than any of the Dems, who are spending all their money fighting each other. The country is in Bush's camp right now. That could change, it's a long time to the election, but right now there's no question that Bush would easily beat any Dem.

<<Bush could never get that from mom and pop. >>
You should look at the facts. A much higher proportion of small donations go to the Repub party than the Dem party, and a much higher proportion of big donations go to the Dem party than the Repub party.

The repubs figured out a long time ago how to raise money effectively under the new rules, and the Dems are only catching on now.
