3.46 million is a pretty good haul for not being a presidential canidate yet. Good job, Team FRed!

is $2300 a limit of some sort - would have been more logical at $2000 or $2500

Damn, how tall is Manning? Bush is 6’0 or so. He looks like a midget there.

Wonder if Richard Wolfe is a Republican or if he is giving to both sides? Could have fooled me with some of the episodes of L&O.

It’s an assumption on my part, but I’ll bet Wolfe gives more to Dems. I interpret his donation as a show of respect for Thompson—even if he is lazy.
