Edwards campaign close to breaking fundraising record...

While many are trying to count him out, John Edwards is still going strong, apparently very strong from this email that I just received:

Here's the good news: thousands of you responded and now, with 48 hours to go, we're just $73,000 from raising more money for this campaign in one month than in any previous three month period.

This is still a three-person race for the Democratic nomination. We have identified the key February 5 states where we know John Edwards will have a strong showing -- and where we are going to win delegates.

Over the next 7 days, John is crisscrossing the country, taking his message of bold change into these key states. This is the message he has said he intends to carry all the way to the Democratic Convention, the nomination -- and then on to the White House.

Your continuing support means a great deal to John and to this campaign.

It will be interesting to see if any of the media picks up on this story...
