The MSM is reporting that the President has out fundraised all of his Republican rivals combined. If you add up what the Republicans took in, its a bit more than $49 million. (The figures can be found here.) The President collected $43 million.

When I was in the 8th grade, I was in an experimental math class using the School Math Study Group curriculum that morphed into what came to be called New Math. The idea behind the approach was, in the words of Tom Leher, “to understand what you are doing rather than to get the right answer.” But we still learned that 49 is greater than 43.
