Kerry tops Bush again

Wed Jun 16th, 2004 at 11:30:35 EDT

The Kerry campaign has just announced that it has raised $100 million in the last three months, including $26 million in May. From the press release:

Shattering all grassroots fundraising records, 75 percent of the funds Kerry has raised since Super Tuesday have been from grassroots fundraising - online $44 million, direct mail and phones $31 million. The average grassroots contribution at johnkerry.com was $108, the average via direct mail and phones was about $70.
For the third straight month, Kerry out raised Bush. May's Kerry Campaign total was more than double the Bush-Cheney campaign's May total of $13 million. Kerry beat Bush's total by $15 million in April ($31 million to $16 million) and by over $17 million in March, when the Kerry campaign raised $43.4 million. The Kerry Campaign has receipts for well over $140 million for the presidential primary cycle, breaking Bush's 2000 record for a non-incumbent, according to the FEC report Kerry will file on June 20th.

To emphasize, Bush's May take was $13 million, Kerry's was $26 million.
Now we need to see the cash onhand numbers. It'll be interesting to see how much more money Bush has misspent in his futile and expensive ($100 million and climbing) attempt to raise Kerry's negatives.
