Gephardt Fund-Raising Falls Far Short

Gephardt Fund-Raising Falls Far Short
RON FOURNIER
Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Presidential candidate Dick Gephardt fell short of his fund-raising goal by more than $1 million, raising questions about his ability to excite Democratic donors and remain a top-tier candidate.

The former House Minority leader, who hoped to raise $5 million from April to June, collected just $3.87 million - apparently placing him in a distant fifth-place among the nine Democratic presidential candidates.

His aides pledged to retool their fund-raising strategy for the second half of the year.

1. What kind of Bozos gave this loser 3.87 mil?

I have no respect for this slug. He's a big reason why the Dems. are in the current state. He's a spineless coward who'd do our country a favor and retire now. He cares nothing about our country; only to try to influence the Iowa primary so he can have power if that Dem. wins the election.

Just as bad as Russert - Me The Press.

5. I wouldn't worry about the Iowa caucus

Dean is already doing very well in the Iowa polls, set up an office there, and now is expanding to other offices with his recent 2Q fundraising.

Dean is a lock in NH, IA, (and has offices established there) and he's working on SC as well as AZ and other early primary states. Hopefully his strategy continues to bode very well and raise plenty of funds.

Dean is the man to defeat *. Not any Washington insider (That includes Kuninich, btw)
