[...] to stay home. Of course there’s the Tweedle Dee/Tweedle Dum/Tweedle Dummer trio of Chris Dodd, Chuck Schumer, and Barney Frank about whom I’ve written already. This is not a group who takes being savaged on [...]

Good point…McCain has been running for, what, 10 years? So that would make sense.

But still….

I've thought about that, Cheester. I attribute McCain's higher total (and, to some extent, Obama's as well, since he's been about as significant a presence in the Senate as the guy who runs the vacuum cleaner at night) to his Presidential campaign. The candidates always draw a huge amount of money and I don't see that total as hugely unusual for folks who have been running, basically, for at least two years.

Hillary Clinton (D-NY) $31,040,714
Barack Obama (D) $27,942,613
John McCain (R) $26,593,411
John Kerry (D-Mass) $19,094,828
Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn) $13,204,556
Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) $12,795,946

Do you think McCain ever asks himself how a "true conservative's" name so regularly appears in the same lists as the most sleazy, liberal Democrats? (I know, I know…he thinks that somehow proves he's the center of the universe.)

Hopefully, for McCain's sake many Democrats (those who may not be so hopped up on hopechange) will recognize the McCain is their guy.
