Hotline’s running down the ‘08 money list, and it’s looking increasingly like we’ll be emigrating in ‘07. Here’s what everyone has sitting in their big fat PACs:* John Edwards, $7k cash, $108k (he does understand the other America! He’s in debt up to his ass, just like them!)
* Mark Warner, $3.2 million on hand, some of it coming from Rachel Ray. So he’s pretty much sunk.
* Evan Bayh, $967k
* Al Gore spent $40k on polling (they deny it’s for ‘08)
* Hillary, of course, has almost $20 million
Here’s how to keep score at home: for each candidate whose name sent a shiver of apprehension, disgust, or garment-renting despair up your spine, award yourself $2k of imaginary soft money. Now spend it planting stories about Mark Warner’s inauthenticity or untested communication skill or something with Anne Kornblut.
