One big goal for both of them --- raising money... As that could determine how much campaigning each will be able to do in the state contests left in the next few months.

So far... Neither candidate has released fundraising numbers from March, but Clinton said yesterday she expects that Obama will "significantly" outspend her in the coming contests.

The latest Federal Election Commission reports, filed two weeks ago showed that Hillary Clinton owed nearly $9 million, while Barack Obama had more than $31 million on hand.

And while money is important, the only thing that matters in the end is the vote count.

The next big contest for Democrats more than two weeks away. In Pennsylvania, the newly released Quinnipiac  poll shows Hillary Clinton has lost a big chunk of her lead over Barack Obama in Pennsylvania. The lead which was 12 points about two weeks ago is down to nine points. Clinton holds the lead, though 50 percent to Obama's 41 percent

And while Clinton and Obama are still fighting it out, Barack Obama, who's leading in the delegate count, is turning some of his attention on John McCain, the likely Republican nominee.

Obama says McCain is out of touch on both the economy and Iraq, now the campaign's two biggest issues. Obama reinvigorated attention on  comment McCain made earlier this year on Iraq.

"One hundred years in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 may make sense to George Bush and John McCain, but it is the wrong thing to do," Obama said. His plan is to bring one or two brigades out a month, at a pace that he says keeps our soldiers safe and doesn't plunge Iraq into chaos.

And Obama isn't the only one leveling complaints against McCain. Clinton blasted McCain for having no meaningful strategy to address the faltering economy, saying Republicans were asleep at the financial switch. And worse yet, she says, they're still doing nothing to address the mortgage foreclosure crisis.

"Well, after years of a wait-and-don't-see approach to the regulatory failures that led to the housing and the credit crisis, they've announced a plan that comes late and falls short," Clinton said.

John McCain says he's started the process of picking a running mate by looking at 20 or so candidates. And while he's not commenting at all about his own process, he says back in 1988 George H. W. Bush made a big mistake in picking Vice President Dan Quayle.  McCain says he was not ready for prime time, and was picked too late. He says he'll do things differently.

"I just think you need to have a measured process to make sure you have taken all the factors into consideration and then decide, but we are in the earliest stages," McCain said.

But those early stages are now easier.

McCain says that in the technological age, "Kind of a look I guess you could do on Google really, when you think about nowadays."

He says he hopes to choose a running mate before the Republican Convention in September.

Barack Obama has been talking about Al Gore more in recent weeks.

"I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how we solve this problem," Obama said.

And finally, a little laughter on the campaign trail: McCain returned to his alma mater this week, the U.S. Naval Academy, and took a rather direct question.

Noted as being "rather direct" himself, McCain chose to deflect the student's question.

"We were told that this isn't a political event, so what exactly is your purpose in being here?" a student asked.

"I knew i should have cut this thing off," McCain joked.
