Mitt Romney, multimillionaire Mormon who also lent his campaign $8.9 million from his pocket. $35 million
John McCain, the Vietnam War veteran who had to fire staff because his campaign is short on funds, has raised $24.3 million
Democrats
Barack Obama, the senator who would be the first African-American president of the US if elected. $58 million
Hillary Clinton, senator and former First Lady, who would be the first woman president of the US if elected. $53 million
John Edwards, who ran for vice-president in 2004 and has been criticised recently for getting a $400 haircut. $23 million
