All Eyes on Giuliani and Huckabee's Third Quarter Fundraising (UPDATED With Huck's Bucks)

Here’s what we know about Republican presidential candidates' fund-raising the third quarter, so far:

Giuliani: Unstated, campaign is claiming “on par” with rivals

Romney: Expected to report $10 million coming in plus a personal donation of $6 million to $7 million, about $60 million for year

Thompson: $8 million for the quarter, with $11.5 million for the year

McCain: “more than $5 million for the quarter”

Huckabee: No release yet; raised $766,000 last quarter (UPDATE: "Around $1 million.")

Ron Paul: $3 million for the quarter, around $6 million for the year

Among the Democrats, a less interesting story with the top two way ahead:

Hillary: $27 million, $22 for the primary, total for year was $62 million, with an additional $10 million transferred from Senate campaign

Obama: $20 million in the third quarter, $19 million for the primary, close to $80 million for the year

Edwards: $7 million in the third quarter

Richardson: $5.2 million in the third quarter

Biden: Just under $2 million in the third quarter

Dodd: $1.5 million in the third quarter

I can't help but suspect that if either Giuliani or Huckabee had jaw-dropping numbers, we would have heard them by now...

UPDATE: Huck's bucks: "Around $1 million." That's pretty disappointing, considering how he was supposed to catch fire after the second place finish at the Iowa straw poll.
