Lists & Rankings: Presidential Fundraising 2008, Unofficial 2nd Quarter Totals
From the report:

The 2nd quarter of the year just passed and the presidential candidates are continuing to demonstrate their fundraising strength—or struggle. Based on preliminary numbers from the candidates’ campaigns, Barack Obama is poised to emerge as the 2nd quarter’s fundraising superstar with a record-breaking haul and an astounding 95 percent of his funds available for the primary. John McCain, on the other hand, is firing dozens of workers and aides this week to make up for his lackluster numbers.

The numbers below reflect unofficial, early predictions from the candidates’ campaigns and the media, not the official information the candidates must file with the Federal Election Commission by July 15.
