While we continue to digest the fact that Hillary Clinton had to loan herself $ 5 million last month, the Obama campaign announced that they have raised more than that since Super Tuesday:
The Obama campaign’s response to the news that Hillary lent her campaign $5 million last month is to highlight the fact that they raised nearly that sum in the brief period that’s passed … since the polls closed yesterday!
In that time span, the Obama camp has raised: $4, 252, 184.
Actually, as of this morning, it’s over $ 6 million.
And The Politico reports that the Obama campaign is on pace for another $ 30 million month:
Barack Obama’s campaign is on track to raise another $30 million in February, sources close to the Illinois senator say, while Hillary Rodham Clinton’s spokesman revealed Wednesday that she had loaned her campaign $5 million.
Insiders in both campaigns say the growing financial disparity virtually ensures that Obama will be able to significantly outspend Clinton in the critical primaries to come.
Even before all the Super Tuesday votes were counted, Obama began airing advertisements in Nebraska, Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland and Maine — the next round of primary and caucus states — before Clinton did.
His campaign has raised $2.2 million in less than 24 hours, sources say
Of course, money doesn’t win elections, votes do, but money sure helps.
