Internet Key to Kerry Financial Turnaround

Presumed Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry is following the lead of Howard Dean by using the Internet as a prime source of campaign funding. According to a story in the New York Times, Kerry has raised more than $100 million since February and roughly three-quarters of these funds have come from mail and Internet solicitations. Much of this money is being devoted to television advertising as the Kerry campaign has spent more than $40 million on TV commercials in the last two months. Yet, his finances still pail in comparison to those of George W. Bush: the incumbent president enjoys a war-chest of approximately $213 million, about twice that of his opponent.
