Bush Is Off Seeking To Boost His Campaign Treasury

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- When President Bush comes to St. Paul's RiverCentre for a $2,000-a-head fundraiser on Tuesday, he'll be well on his way to setting another record for presidential fundraising. In the first six months of the year, Bush raised $35 million, more than twice as much as any of the nine Democrat candidates seeking to run against him. Bush got nearly half of the money from four states -- California, Texas, New York and Florida -- according to federal disclosure reports. But the Fundraiser-in-Chief is hardly overlooking smaller states. Posted by Editor at August 23, 2003 10:59 PM
