Obama raised $6.9 million—more than a quarter of his total—over the Internet from more than 50,000 online donors, the Illinois Democrat’s campaign said from Chicago this morning.
Overall, Obama received contributions from more than 100,000 individuals, his campaign said. Clinton received donations from about 50,000 people, while Edwards took in money from about 37,000 donors.
Obama’s campaign said that at least $23.5 million of its first-quarter collection would be available for the primary campaign, an important distinction because candidates are able to raise money now for both the primary and general elections.
I believe this is called winning the news cycle.
If those online donors could be persuaded to give early in Congressional races the Dems will really be able to put the hurt on the GOP in 2008.
Obama beats Clinton!!!!! The primary take is 20 for Hillary and 23.5 for Obama.
Hillary loses!
And we know Hillary spends money like a drunken sailor. Twenty million for her is nothing but chump change.
A couple of cycles. They were pretty breathless on “Today” talking about how much Obama might rack up when he made them wait a few days.
Well, nice pile of money there…
Let’s see what he does with it…
