Rather, it is the runners up who require more funds, not the leader. Seems like Joe Biden's doing just fine, to me, based on current polling.

do you think it might reveal something about enthusiasm? I guess time will tell...

However, Joe Biden has plenty of enthusiastic supporters. But, he's not out there begging for contributions, really. I assure you that contributions will come in as they are needed. Right now, it's just the early states that require campaigning. Soon, there will be more demands on candidates' funds.

Joe seems to be doing just fine, though. He's maintaining his nice lead, and has been since the very beginning of the primary campaign. He hasn't really pushed for campaign fund donations very hard. I'm sure he will be doing more of that, though. But, he's still raising plenty of money for what he needs to do. Really, just showing up at events seems to work really well for him. That's not terribly costly, really.

They can go pound salt!!

...I wonder why Bernie - with all that cash - isn't polling at least 20 points higher...i.e. 10 points for a catch-up to Joe, and another 10 to make his (Bernie's) point.

And why isn't Pete's polling higher with all that cash? He's softened a bit in Iowa and has dropped a bit in New Hampshire. And he seems to be missing from everywhere else.

I expected him to come in behind Sanders. Any other quarter, $22M is nothing to sneeze about. Sanders pulled in an incredible amount all things considered and Mayor Pete did a lot better than I expected....guess the Wine Cave helped.

...each giving the Federal Max of $2800, that's $140,000. That's 0.5% of his quarterly number.

A front runner is the candidate with the most voters.

That is a fair indication of where the wind is blowing, isn't it?

Concerning.

It's a bad look.

Disqualifying, even.

I truly believe your t-shirts are among the most colorful, but tend to shrink during the wash cycle... illustrating their true worth.

Hey... I get it. You need to focus on a perceived problem to the exclusion of the OP to make it more convenient to throw pretense at the wall in the hope it sticks.

Truly it will.

This is our Joe!!

Love it

didn't realize Yang raised to much $ - for him. That has got to be a record. He must have picked up a lot of support from the debates.

Will be interesting to see what Warren and Klobuchar raised. I heard Warren didn't do as well in the 4th Q as she did in the 3rd. Managing expectations.

Joe's appeal goes beyond dollars and cents.

Not like you to get a critical number wrong, Brooklynite.

Biden is being out raised yet maintaining his front runner status. It's about the person, not the spending.

True testament to his character.
