More than 38,000 have contributed to his campaign since he entered the race in January, said spokesman Pahl Shipley.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><o:p> <\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">That\u2019s far short of the number of individual contributors to the top three candidates.

She has raised about $55 million in six months. And <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barackobama.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Barack Obama<\/a> raised $32.5 million from 154,000 individual donors this quarter, bringing his six-month total to about $58 million from 258,000 donors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><o:p> <\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Obama\u2019s total for the quarter is a record for Democrats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><o:p> <\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Still, Shipley said <st1:city st=\"on\"><st1:place st=\"on\">Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>\u2019s campaign is exactly where its leaders want it to be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><o:p> <\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cOur goal was to increase fundraising over the first quarter, and we did,\u201d he said. \u201cOur fundraising is growing, our poll numbers are growing, we\u2019re building momentum, we\u2019re on goal and on budget.
