Primary Dollars

Interesting:

Tuesday was a big day in the so-called "money primary." That's when President Bush and the nine Democratic presidential candidates filed campaign finance reports for the second quarter with the Federal Election Commission. The big winner was the president: in the three-month period ending June 30, he raised $34 million. That's more than all the Democratic candidates combined.

The transcript of the chat session with WaPo political reporter Thomas B. Edsall is semi-interesting, but mainly the above-clipped intro is the most interesting thing from this story.
