A couple months after he apologized to supporters for his sluggish
fundraising machine, Sen. Joe Biden conceded Thursday that he raised
even less money for the third quarter of the year. Biden told
reporters outside East High School in Des Moines that he's still
confident he can find a late breakthrough in the Democratic
presidential contest. But with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton beginning
to widen her lead both in polls and in the campaign money chase,
lower-tier candidates like Biden increasingly must fight to remain
viable and relevant. "I'm satisfied," Biden said of the nearly $2
million he raised in the third quarter of the year.
