Annual fundraising totals for Governor Blagojevich (from Tom Kacich):

2007 -- $2.43 million raised
2006 -- $11.4 million
2005 -- $6.56 million
2004 -- $5.91 million
2003 -- $5.29 million
2002 -- $19.1 million
2001 -- 3.3 million

Please note - in 2007, Blagojevich also paid about $1 million in legal bills out of that $2.4 million raised, he has less than $1 million left in the bank, and he's stated publicly that he plans to run for re-election in 2010.

Good times.
