Bush has blown $130 mil of the $200 mil he raised -- at that rate it'll take half a billion for Bush to have enough money to buy enough votes to just try to break even with Kerry.

When you spend $130 million and you're still behind in the polls, something must be desperately wrong. No wonder the GOP congressmen are worried and Bush needs to beg them to keep the faith.

But going through $130 million in less than two months -- I have to wonder if some of that money isn't going for "nose candy".
