Show Me The Money

The Miami Herald ran a story today talking about George Bush’s swing through the state to raise money for the 2004 election. Here’s part of it:

The Florida jaunt caps a record-setting, two-week sprint in which the president will have raised more than $20 million — at least twice as much as any Democratic candidate has raised all year.

Supposedly, Bush wants to raise $200 million for the 2004 election. That’s about twice as much as he raised in 2000–when he had to beat a substantial field in the primaries! And here I thought we were in a new era of restrained political giving because of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law.
