Stephane Dion in fundraising trouble?

None of the Liberal leadership contenders seem to be raising astronomical sums of cash. But this is a bit surprising:

Mr. Rae's $384,795 in donations is the highest, followed by Michael Ignatieff, with $293,896 and Joe Volpe with $210,170.

...

Though Liberal MP Stéphane Dion's name has been mentioned increasingly of late as a top-tier candidate, his fundraising numbers are near the bottom of the pack.

Mr. Dion's team has listed 65 donors for a total of $32,250. The two candidates who have so far received less are Liberal MP Maurizio Bevilacqua with nine donations totalling $26,650 and Liberal MP Hedy Fry, with 15 donations totalling $15,150.

I would have thought Dion would have done much better.
