$70 million less than the last figure I heard attributed to Bush.

Part of the article on MSNBC.com
____________________________________________
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry raised at least $34 million in June, lifting his record total to more than $180 million with one month of fund raising to go.

Kerry is expected to accept full government financing for his general-election campaign, which officially starts July 29 when he is nominated at his party?s convention in Boston. At that point, he will receive about $75 million in taxpayer funding ? the only money he can spend campaigning until the November election.

President Bush has roughly one month longer to raise and spend private campaign funds. Bush also is expected to accept government funding for the general election campaign. He will receive his check after his party nominates him in New York City in early September.

Bush raised at least $218 million through the first week of June. His campaign has not yet released fund-raising figures for the month.

Kerry and Bush have shattered fund-raising records. Kerry, the first Democrat to opt out of public financing and its $45 million spending limit for the primary season, holds his party?s record for the most raised and spent in a presidential primary campaign.
