Presidential Power Rankings # 14

April 4, 2004

Democrats:

1. Hillary Rodham Clinton (1)
2. Barack Obama (2)
3. John Edwards (3)
4. Al Gore (4)
5. Bill Richardson (5)
6. Joe Biden (6)
7. Chris Dodd (7)
8. Dennis Kucinich (8)
9. Wesley Clark (9)
10. Mike Gravel (10)

The big story this week was the end of the first quarter of 2007 and how much money all the candidates managed to raise. Due to those figures, there are once again no changes, but the gap between # 5 and the rest of the field is pretty deep to say the least.


Republicans:

1. Rudy Giuliani (1)
2. Mitt Romney (2)
3. John McCain (3)
4. Fred Thompson (4)
5. Sam Brownback(6)
6. Mike Huckabee (5)
7. Newt Gingrich (7)
8. Duncan Hunter (8)
9. Tommy Thompson (9)
10. Ron Paul(10)

The fact that Mitt Romney so easily won the first quarter GOP money chase I believe more than justifies his having consistently been ranked at #2 in my rankings. Also, most of the recent Iowa and New Hampshire polls show him very close, even to first place, in those states.

The one change I have made this week, is due to the amount of money being raised, and that is once again flopping Misters Brownback and Huckabee.
