For Romney, a Fundraising Drop-Off

By Politics
Saturday, June 30, 2007; Page A05

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who led Republican candidates in money raised during the first three months of the presidential race with $21 million, told top fundraisers yesterday that his campaign will bring in less during the second quarter and that he continues to lend money from his personal fortune to ensure that more voters hear his message. . .

Former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, who finished second to Romney on the GOP side last quarter, had another strong fundraising quarter and could release his tally early next week. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is trying to improve on the $13 million he raised in the first quarter, and expects to fall between $10 million and $15 million, fundraisers said.

But the top Republicans are all likely to be outdone by the top two finishers on the Democratic side.

Are these numbers all rumors? I thought "official" tallys don't get released for another 2 weeks. :confused:

The quotations of numbers for the first quarter were reported previously. "Rumors" of the new numbers were usually from the respective campaigns for the second quarter ending today--don't forget to donate!
