A look at '08 money: Who is raising and who is spending
From The Morning Grind

Republicans and Democrats eyeing potential presidential bids are raising money into various federal and non-federal campaign accounts and spending it at a fast clip, CNN's Xuan Thai and Robert Yoon report. In the case of Sen. George Allen (D-Virginia), he is now focusing primarily on his own re-election campaign in November. Others, such as former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner (D), continue to use these accounts to make strategic contributions to candidates and pay for staff and travel as they weigh possible White House bids. Here is a snapshot look at the financial ledgers of possible '08 candidates.
