Trivia Tidbit Of The Day: Part 92 -- Incumbent Fundraising.

Incumbent Advantage-

From January through March, House freshmen raised 43 percent of their campaign dollars from PACs. As candidates last year, they collected just 28 percent from PACs.... PACs accounted for 41 percent of the money raised by all House members in the first quarter of this year.

People like winners. Winners command the cash. In the positioning for 2008, he (or she) who raises the most money, the earliest, will have the inside track for the nomination.
