Campaign Fundraising Numbers

With the Q1 numbers all in, Republicans have to be feeling a bit queasy about their chances in 2008. (Totals include all receipts, including general election money. In millions.)

Republicans

Romney $23
Giuliani $15
McCain $12.5
Huckabee $0.5
TOTAL $51

Democrats

Clinton $26
Obama $25
Edwards $14
Richardson $6
Dodd $4
Biden $3
TOTAL: $78


That means the Democrats raised a dollar every nine seconds of the first quarter.

More money more problems.

Mo Money Mo Problems

(Notorious B.I.G, Puff Daddy & Mase)


Now who's hot who not
Tell me who rock
Who sell out in da stores
You tell me who flop
Who copped da blue drop
Who jewels got boxed
Who mostly go G down to da tube sock
Da same old pimp
Mase you know ain't nothin changed but my limp
Can't stop till I see my name on a blimp
Guarantee a million sales
Pull another up
You don't believe in Harlem World
Nigga double up
We don't play around
It's a bet lay it down
Niggas didn't know me '91
Bet they know me now
I'm da young harlem nigga with da goldie sound
Can't no PHD niggas hold me down
Coota schooled me to da game
Now I know my duty
Stay humble
Stay low
Blow like hootie
True pimp niggas spend no dough on da booty
And then you yell
There go Mase there go your cutie

I don't know what they want from me
It's like the more money we come across
The more problems we see
I don't know what they want from me
It's like the more money we come across
The more problems we see

Yeah yeah ahah
from the D to da A to da D-D-Y
I know you rather see me die
Than to see me fly
I call all da shots
Rip all da spots
Rock all da rocks
Cop all da drops
I know you thinking now
When all da ballin stops
Nigga never home gotta call me on da yacht
10 years from now we'll still be on top
Yo I thought I told you that we won't stop
Now what you gonna do
When it's crew bag a money
Much longer than yours
And a team much stronger than yours
Violate me
This'll be yo day
We don't play
Messing around with D.O.A.
Be on your way
Cause it ain't enough time here
Ain't enough lime here
For you to shine here
Deal with many women but treat dimes fair
And I'm bigga than the city lights
Down in Times Square
Yeah yeah yeah


I don't know what they want from me
It's like the more money we come across
The more problems we see
I don't know what they want from me
It's like the more money we come across
The more problems we see


Uhh
B-I-G P-O-P-P-A
No info for da D-E-A
Federal agents mad cause I'm flagrant
Tap my cell and da phone in da basement
My team supreme
Stay clean
Triple beam lyrical dream
I be that
Can't you see at all events bent
Gats in holsters girls on shoulders
Playboy I told yuh being nice to me
Bruise too much I lose too much
Step on stage da girls do too much
I guess it's cause you run with lame
Do too much
Me lose my touch never that
If I did ain't no problem to get da gat
Where da true playas at
Throw your rollies in da sky
Wave them side to side
And keep their hands high
While I give your girl a eye
Playa please lyrically nigga see
B-I-G be flossin
Jig on da cover of Fortune
5 double O here's my phone number
Your man ain't got to know I got da dough
Got da flow down pizzat platinum plus
Like thizzat dangerous on trizzack
Leave yo ass phizzack

I don't know what they want from me
It's like the more money we come across
The more problems we see
I don't know what they want from me
It's like the more money we come across
The more problems we see

I don't know what they want from me
It's like the more money we come across
The more problems we see
What's going on?
Somebody tell me
What's going on?

I don't know what they want from me
It's like the more money we come across
The more problems we see
I don't know what they want from me
It's like the more money we come across
The more problems we see
