Yeah, but they are also the ones who formed the last 2 governments. It is always much easier to fundraise when you are in the seat of power, regardless of the charisma of the leader.
In the 2 "main" parties, I currently don't see any leaders (now, or on the horizon) that could rejuvenate the base like Obama was able to do.
