The last I heard on Bush's war chest was that it had climbed over $130m. Dean spent his so quickly because he made a bad deal with Trippi--gave Trippi's companies contracts to spend whatever money he raised, and take 15% off the top as their cut in return for not paying Trippi a salary. Dean was a nobody then, and didn't have much to lose from it. He ended up getting a few exciting months in the sun in return.

If Bush wants more money, it's his. Whatever the campaign limit is, I'll give, and give for the rest of my family. What's that, $2000 per registered voter? I might be the only one, but I don't think so. This is only February 5, the election isn't for nine months. I trust he won't ask for it unless he needs it. I expect he'll need it. We'll also give time, do phone banks, put up signs, go door to door, fill envelopes. We're hard core. The DH leans more towards Religious Right, the boys lean more towards Libertarianism, but when we've got an election to win we all pull together. If it looks like VA is a shoo-in for Bush, the DH will vote Constitution party and Ben will vote Libertarian, but if there's a chance the Dem could win, they'll stand with me. Don't forget, politics is local.
