Obama also breaks $100 million barrier

The headlines from the last-minute filers among the presidential candidates:

Barack Obama, who boasted Thursday about raising $32 million just during January, brought in slightly less than his main rival for all of 2007. He reported raising $27 million during the last three months and about $102 million total, and said he had $19 million in the bank. That compares to Hillary Clinton's figures of $27 million for the fourth quarter, $107 million overall, and $38 million in cash on hand as of Dec. 31.

By contrast, John Edwards, who dropped out this week from the Democratic race, reported raising only $4.8 million during October, November, and December, bringing his total take to $35 million. Edwards accepted public financing.

Ron Paul's fund-raising continues to far outpace his standing in the polls among Republicans. He reported raising nearly $20 million during the fourth quarter, bringing his total to $28.2 million. He had $7.8 million in the bank.
