With the late release of Barack Obama’s reports, everyone expected his numbers to be high, but not this high. As you probably already know, he has raised $25 million for the first quarter. $25 million is insanely close to Hillary Clinton’s $26 million, which was still seen as mind-blowing. Considering Howard Dean didn’t reach those types of numbers until September of ’03, the fact that not one, but two, candidates have reached those sort of numbers in the first quarter, shows that this election cycle is going to be more than expensive.

For this installment of On The Record, I spoke with Ken Molberg, the most senior member of the State Democratic Executive Committee and a former Chair of the Dallas County Democratic Party.

For this installment, I spoke with Travis Biggs, former Denton City Council candidate and candidate for Denton County Democratic Party Chair in the upcoming special election.
