Bush campaign setting daily dollar record

[CShine]

President Bush has stopped holding fund-raisers for himself but his campaign fortune continues to grow, hitting at least $218 million with more than two months of donations still to come.

The Republican started June with about $63 million in the bank.

Bush raised roughly $13 million in May, a monthly campaign finance report he filed Friday with the Federal Election Commission shows. Bush has been relying on mailed and online donations to raise money for his campaign since April, when he turned his attention to holding fund raisers for other Republicans. His average donation last month was $60, the campaign said.

Bush raised about $4 million more in the first week of June, bringing him to about $218 million total since he started raising re-election money in May 2003, donor information posted on his Web site shows.

1. I am sure he has not spent very much except on anti-Kerry ads

because for a year now the taxpayer has funded the majority of his campaign trips.

2. And four years from now,

Johnny Cochran is going to be an even richer man.
