Reply #44: You are right to some degree about Clark's fundraising ability.... [View All]

however, if you were to look it up, you would find that Wes Clark had more donations under $200 than any other candidate in the primaries exception for Howard Dean. In addition, Wes Clark did get hollywood donations....

I think that the way that it works, using Kerry and Edwards as examples....one needs money only up until they gain some momentum by actually getting a lot of votes. Both on our '04 ticket really raised less money than just about everyone else in the race....what occurred in Iowa in Free Publicity is what catapulted them in terms of donations from that day forward.

So yes, fundraising is important....but in the long run, Iowa, Nevada and NH are even more important.
