...Bush will be able to take only $250 each from them. Though the undeclared GOP candidate raised a whopping $7.6 million in the first quarter, he's trying to amass enough loot to opt out of the public-financing system and its spending limits; so he's hoping for the maximum $1,000 from as many deep pockets as possible. Other G-37 victims: New Jersey's Republican governor Christine Todd Whitman, who's running for Senate, and New York GOP mayor Rudy Giuliani, if he runs. They can't even take the $250 unless the donor lives in their...
...completed until the issue (and this President) have long since moved on. President Clinton and his aspiring veep are caught between defenders of the First Amendment (the Hollywood types who donate to the Democrats) and those of the Second (the gun types who give to the GOP).

Without having held a single fund-raising event, the Texas governor attracted $7.6 million. Bush easily eclipsed all his other rivals, including Elizabeth Dole, the other big name in the GOP contest. Dole raised less than $1 million, suggesting she may be following a dangerous family tradition set by her husband in his failed presidential bid: a slow start. "She hasn't put anything in place quickly," says Dickerson. "She's only announcing her New Hampshire team this coming week." Another...
