      Washington Post  |  Jan 12, 08 3:01 PM CST

      Why Edwards Still Matters

      (Newser) - He may have lost Iowa and New Hampshire, but don’t forget about John Edwards just yet, even if he’s not going to win the nomination, writes the Washington Post’s Dan Balz. Trumped by the celebrity and fundraising might of Clinton and Obama, Edwards will likely have to settle for a role as spoiler—but in this year's race, that's no small thing. More »

      At Last, a Win for Romney: $5M in 1 Day

      (Newser) - Mitt Romney bagged $5 million in donations yesterday, and aides called the more than 10,000 contributions a “solid affirmation of support” for the second-place New Hampshire finisher, the Boston Herald reports.

      Dem Donations Hit Record High

      (Newser) - The race for the presidency is crowded, but that isn't stopping candidates from raising huge sums of money, the Washington Post reports. The power of the internet to raise cash from both grassroots supporters and wealthy donors is credited with helping Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama raise over $100 million each in 2007. It's the first time in history two candidates have passed that benchmark before a primary. More »

      Interest Groups Gain in Cash &mdash;and Influence

      (Newser) - The swift-boating of John Kerry was only the first wave—election spending by groups unaffiliated with the major political parties nearly tripled between 2000 and 2006, the Wall Street Journal reports, to 19% of the total. And the so-called "527" groups, which don't have to disclose their donors, are ramping up even more for 2008, with ad buys and get-out-the-vote initiatives. More »

      On Tape, Sharpton Cuts Deal for Campaign Cash

      (Newser) - Someone should have told Al Sharpton he was on candid camera. When the then-presidential candidate agreed to land a multimillion-dollar contract for fundraiser Ronald White in 2003, the FBI was filming the whole thing, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Now Sharpton is under investigation for possible tax fraud and campaign finance violations, but he insists that he’s done nothing illegal and that the tape vindicates him. More »

      (Newser) - After several failed business schemes in the 1980s and 1990s, Norman Hsu went home to Hong Kong to recoup and plan an ego-boosting second try at the American fast lane. The Journal fills in the gaps in Hsu’s story, revealing the busted bundler as a capable manipulator obsessed with respect—and in thrall to Hillary Clinton. More »

      He Could Still Be a Contender in Iowa

      (Newser) - Team Huckabee’s been bringing in extra chairs to campaign events in Iowa. The Arkansas governor is busting out of the second tier there, with growing fundraising numbers and conservative popularity that could earn him a primary upset, the New York Times reports. The friendliest candidate in the GOP race has also started drawing fire from his rivals, and that's fine with him. “You only aim for something that’s alive,” the sometime hunter noted to reporters this week.
