...fund-raising by a margin of 3 to 1, collecting nearly $11 million over the past seven weeks, according to the New York Times. Clinton raked in about $3.5 million during the same time period - and it's testimony to these campaigns' stratospheric finances that such a gigantic number sounds slightly pathetic...

And while the veep is getting his daily health-care headline with this week's Florida get-out-the-seniors-vote tour, Bush has been mired in number-crunching his own tax cut and wondering whether Dick Cheney could maybe try to grab some headlines that don't involve the campaign's lack of a prescription-drug plan...
