Sunday's deadline for third-quarter fundraising reports was the dominating theme in the key early states this week. In the frantic final countown, candidates are either raising money or raising questions about why they aren't raising money.
That was the case for John Edwards, whose presence in New Hampshire this week — usually not a top locale for bringing in cash — prompted questions about whether he's resigned to a lackluster fundraising report for this quarter.
Edwards also got a grilling in Iowa over his ties to sub-prime mortgage lenders that have been linked to 107 home foreclosures in the state.
In South Carolina, Barack Obama may be praying for another strong fundraising showing Sunday when he visits church services in Columbia, including one congregation where he's likely to be one of the few African-Americans — and Democrats.
In Nevada, finally, candidates like Rudy Giuliani show up to raise money, but don't stick around to actually campaign. Will the GOP caucus turn out to be a bust? Read on.
