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

only two weeks in the
Democratic race. 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.
