According to this, it looks like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton will maintaint he torrid fundraising paces they set in the first quarter of 2007.  Reportedly, Obama will announce that "he surpassed the mark [of 104,000 first quarter donors] in the second quarter with 138,000 more opening their wallets."  And "Hillary's advisers tell the Associated Press that she will match the $26 million she raised in the last quarter."  Wow, that is a TON of money for Obama and Clinton. 

Anyway, we'll know the exact fundraising totals soon, as the second quarter ends this Saturday.  It should be interesting, with just over 6 months to go until the Iowa caucuses.  Aside from the front-runners, what about Edwards and Richardson, can they even stay in the same galaxy as Clinton and Obama?  And if not, can they stay competitive?  We'll see.
