Campaign Coffers Filling Up

The first quarter of 2007 campaign fundraising is over and the candidates are busy counting their cash.
Three Democratic campaigns have announced figures. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., topped the list with record-breaking donations totaling $26 million. She also transferred $10 million from her Senate campaign coffers, bringing her total to $36 million for the quarter.
Former Sen. John Edwards', D-N.C., campaign said they were very pleased with their more than $14 million take, which they said exceeded their $10 million goal.
And Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., guessed his total would be around $3 million. Dwarfed by the front-runner tallies, Biden said he thinks this election will be about more than the dollar signs.
He told Fox News' Chris Wallace, "If people think we're going to pick a nominee based on how much money they have rather than based on their ideas, I think they vastly underestimate the Democratic electorate in these primaries."
The Republican campaigns are expected to announce within the coming days.

The point that Mr. Biden misses is that a vast majority of people in this country who would make a good President don't even get heard because the money race forces so many of them out before they even have a shot.
