NATION U THE BATTALION Thursday, September 25,200] Dean leads Democratic money chase; Bush nears $80 million By Sharon Theimer THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Front runner Howard Dean has broken former President Clinton’s Democratic record for most money in a three-month burst, while new rival Wesley Clark is turning to some of Clinton’s most loyal and effective fund raisers to help him jump-start his presidential campaign. No Democrat is coming close to President George W. Bush’s fund raising, however. Bush is expected to collect about $43 mil lion by the time the third quarter ends next Tuesday, bringing his total this year to roughly $78 mil lion, GOP officials said. Dean, raising millions on the Internet, is likely to take in $13 million to $16 million this quar ter, a campaign insider said. That would lift him to at least $23.5 million for the race so far and likely make him the Democratic money leader for the year. The former Vermont gover nor has already passed the Democratic record set by Clinton, who took in $10.3 mil lion over three months in 1995 for his re-election. Bush set an overall single quarter record in the last period, collecting $35.1 million in his first six weeks of the 2004 cam paign, breaking the record of about $29.7 million he set in 1999. Bush’s expected take of $43 million in this period is like ly to set a record. Dean spokeswoman Tricia Enright said that while Dean’s flood of online contributions is drawing most of the attention, he also is using direct mail and events to raise money. Clark is on pace to collect $2 million or more by the time the fund-raising quarter ends, after Raising funds for the presidential race Bill Clinton set the record for quarterly fund-raising by a Democratic presidential candidate, raising $10.3 million in the third quarter of 1995. How the 2004 Democratic presidential candidates compare: Total $16' $11.9 $10.5' $9.8 $8.1 $3.1 $1.8 $0.22 $0.14 NOTE: Funds reported between Jan. 1 and June 30.

The retired general, like Clinton an Arkansan, is getting a boost from some of the former presi dent’s most prolific fund-raisers. The team so far includes Skip Rutherford, head of the Clinton presidential library; New York venture capitalist Alan Patricoff, who helped raise millions for Clinton; Eli Segal, chief of staff to Clinton’s 1992 campaign and former head of the AmeriCorps national service program Clinton created; Mickey Kantor, commerce secretary in the Clinton administration; and Bob Burkett, a business consultant in Washington, D.C, and Los Angeles. Patricoff said Clark will have to get his fund-raising organiza tion off the ground quickly, but working with people who attracted donors for Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore will be a big help. John Kerry, Dick Gephardt and Joe Lieberman are expected to be in roughly the $4 million to $6 million range in third- quarter fund raising. John Edwards is expected to come in below that, along with the other four candidates in the 10-way Democratic race. Many of the campaigns are sending frequent e-mail pitches to prospective donors, seeking help with the current fund-rais ing deadline looming. The next campaign finance reports are due at the Federal Election Commission Oct. 15. “Give today, as much as you can afford,” Kerry national cam paign treasurer Bob Farmer wrote in an e-mail Monday. “How we do by the Sept. 30 EEC filing deadline will deter mine how the media perceives our campaign.” The Democrat who emerges as the party’s presumptive nominee will be helped with about $16mil lion in spending by the Democratic National Committee. The Democrats will need it; Bush is widely expected to raise $2(X) million or more for the primary season, without a GOP opponent. Bush raised more than $100 million for the primaries in 2000.
