barack obama fundraising totals
Is Hillary on a roll with her contributions?

WASHINGTON – More than doubling her January fundraising total, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s advisers said Thursday that she will raise $35 million in February, a figure rival Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign said it would surpass.
The $35 million would be Clinton’s biggest fundraising mark yet and represents a remarkable recovery for her campaign. Obama raised more than she did last month, $36 million to $14 million, and she was forced to lend her campaign $5 million.
“It was incredibly gratifying to see people come forth with this vote of confidence in me,” Clinton told reporters in Hanging Rock, Ohio. “Obviously this is a tremendous benefit to my campaign.”
Obama’s campaign, reacting promptly to her campaign announcement, promised an even higher number but divulged no totals.
When supporters of Hillary saw that she was in financial trouble, and she had to lend 5 mil to her campaign, that motivated people to contribute on a grassroots level. She will raise even more money, so that could keep her in much longer, if she wins OH and TX. She could go all the way to PA. But Obama still has so much more money than she does. Still, it is a big boon for her.
