2008 Presidential Candidates 2007 1st Quarter Fund Raising Numbers

As mentioned below, Q1 is the low-hanging fruit. One key nugget, as the data starts coming in (and campaigns don't have to report until the 15th), is how many individual donors each campaign had. I'm willing to bet some correlation between those numbers, and the campaigns who can keep up a strong fundraising pace.

Hillary Clinton: $36 million, 50,000 donors, includes $10M transfer from Senate campaign
Mitt Romney: $23 million
Rudy Giuliani: $15 million
John Edwards: $14 million
Chris Dodd: $9 million, includes $5M transfer from Senate campaign
Bill Richardson: $6 million
Joe Biden: $4 million, including $1M transfer from Senate campaign
