Tell you what, people are throwing some money at these candidates. Obama raised $32 million in January and as of this moment, has raised over $5.25 million [B]since polls closed yesterday[/B]. I understand Clinton has raked in quite a bit in the last 24 hours, too - anyone know how she's doing? How about McCain?

Re: Fundraising

If I may answer my own question, Clinton has evidently raised 3 million. Obama has doubled that -- tally here:

Re: Fundraising

Hillary is apparantly about to go on TV and paint her $$ situation a lot prettier with 4 million she's raised since tuesday (so they say.) Of course she will, because it looks pretty bad when you have to scratch your own campaign a check for 5 mil because you can't afford this long haul of a campaign this has become, especially, when it's the clinton campaign machine- the supposed fund raising machine. I think it's hilarious.

I remember back when Hillary was raising all that money in the beginning and Obama was too, but not as much as Hil, and the experts said the money B.O'bomb was raising was from people like you and me, people that will keep giving, and Hil's cash came from large corps and one timers and her's would eventually run out. Now it's all coming full circle.

Go O'Bomb!!!
