Former President Bill Clinton remains the Democratic Party's No. 1 draw.

He raised a total of $1.5 million for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Timothy M. Kaine's campaign yesterday at two private appearances in Virginia.

The fundraisers were at a home in the Keswick area of Albemarle County and at a residence in McLean. Clinton made no public appearances.

The total pushes Kaine, the lieutenant governor, over $17 million.

President Bush raised $2 million for the Republican campaign of Jerry W. Kilgore at a home in McLean in July. His wife, Laura, and Vice President Dick Cheney raised $750,000 each for Kilgore, the former attorney general. Cheney appeared briefly Monday at the Goochland County home of Carmax board chairman Richard L. Sharp.
