President Obama’s campaign on Saturday said they had received donations from more than 700,000 supporters during the week of the Democratic National Convention.

The president’s campaign announced the haul in a tweet from Obama’s account.

@BarackObama

We did it! Over 700,000 grassroots donations this week—thank you! OFA.BO/4W5Nv2 #Forward2012
8 Sep 12

In an email sent late Friday night to supporters the campaign had said they had a goal of “600,000 grassroots donations in one week – and we blew right through it.”

Deputy campaign manager Julianna Smoot said the campaign hoped to collect 33,000 more donations to reach their new goal of 700,000 by midnight.

Obama’s campaign has intensified their fundraising efforts after being outraised by Romney and the Republican National Committee in recent months.
