"The Bush campaign fully expects it will be outspent by a whole range of special-interest liberal groups," said Terry Holt, the campaign's spokesman. "Given that, we think our fund-raising goals are appropriate."

You know, of all the barefaced lies we've heard, that one might be the most blatant.

Contributions of $1,000 or more made up 70% of all individual donations raised by the major party candidates in the nine-month reports they filed on October 15, according to an analysis by the Campaign Finance Institute.

The 2004 candidates’ dependence on large and small donors varies greatly. President Bush has raised 84% of his 2003 money in amounts of $1000 or more, compared to 78% in 1999. On the other hand, the proportion of small contributions to the Bush campaign has also increased from 5% to 11% over the last four years.

Which special-interest liberal groups might those be, Mr. Holt?
