2012 Election Fundraising Totals


The numbers are in for the second quarter fundraising totals of 2012 prospective Presidential candidates. Barack Obama, the inevitable democratic nominee, leads the pack with a whopping $46 million haul. In second, GOP front-runner and Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney trails at about a third of Obama's haul: $18 million in donations. In third and fourth, respectively, Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann possess about $5 million each. 

The Republican base's division among several possible nominees has given incumbent President Barack Obama a healthy lead in the fund-raising competition thus far. Sooner or later, a GOP nominee will officially be named and then -- and only then -- the dollarocracy race will be in full swing.

Until then, who do YOU think will get the Republican Party's nomination for president?

    I'm not sure who they'll put up against the incumbent, but I'd like to see Nader run again with the Independents.

    I guess that Obama is going to be elected for another few years no matter what happens. His PR is just too great for him to fail
